I’m engaged to my high school sweetheart. He’s kind, thoughtful, and honestly amazing in bed. We’re both in our first year of college, trying to balance a lot. But lately, I’ve felt… neglected. Neither of us drives, so I only see him for about 20 minutes a week. He calls every night, but most of the time he’s gaming and barely talks to me.

Recently, I reconnected with my ex. We’d agreed to stay friends after we broke up, and slowly we started texting again. Today, after three years, I saw him in person. And something in me just… shifted. It wasn’t about still loving him—it was about being seen. He gave me his full attention. I didn’t realize how much I missed that.

Now I’m stuck in my own head. I love my fiancé, but I feel so alone. I don’t want to mess anything up, but I can’t ignore how I feel either. I just wish I knew what the right thing was.
