I [23/f] love my boyfriend [35/m] but I'm not in love with him. It's killing me inside.

Sorry, I didn't give enough information. Well we are both pretty lonely people. We both connected through a conversation about suicide. We instantly felt super close and connected to eachother. We both left our old long term relationships for eachother. It's because our old partners were stuck in a rut and and scared to do things in life. Both of us want to get better at life and we have been going on a lot of adventures like hiking, swimming, tennis, frisbee, football, beach and we just do so much stuff together. We both come out of relationships that had passive partners that were boring or never really had their own idea or opinion. We challenge eachother and everyday is always so exciting.

Why is it so hard to leave? I've never felt so connected to someone. The way he looks at me, we are always in our own little world. When we are together, there's never a moment he's not paying attention to me. He's just always into me. He tells his friends all about me. I've never had so much fun with somebody before. We made videos together for the first time recently and I just had the biggest smile on my face the whole time. We make eachother laugh all the time. We have both had incredibly similar lives, of locking ourselves in our rooms for a decade and coming out finally and trying hard to catch up with life. There's just something really bonding about knowing eachother so well. He makes me feel so special when we are together. I love hugging and kissing and just having that special someone. And he's just so different from everyone else. He's incredibly open and has shared his whole life with me. I've never met anybody that could communicate so well and not be scared to tell about things. He also can be gutsy and assertive with me which I like a lot too.
