<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

Been with my bf for 4.5 years, lived together for almost just as long. Things aren't always perfect but our relationship has always been really strong, we're best friends and we communicate about everything. This past year we've started having the conversation about marriage and kids (we're both unsure about kids, but we're talking about it).

Recently met a new friend within my social circle that I'm really attracted to. We haven't spent any time alone, always in big groups, but I've started having strong feelings for him that have kind of shocked and confused me since this has never happened to me before. The fact that he's single and actively trying to date in a new city isn't helping. I recognize this is complete fantasy since we don't even know each other that well but the frequency with which I'm imagining this guy as my boyfriend is really alarming. We both work in the same creative field (my bf doesn't) and have a lot in common.

There've been some problems in my relationship lately, mostly due to bf being super busy with work and always out of town. I recognize this and want to work on this when his work calms down next month. In the meantime I'm thinking of cutting off social media contact with my crush so I don't have daily contact and picture reminders of what he's up to.

The question is, should I be honest with my bf I have a crush on someone and it's why I want to be serious work on our relationship? We've always been 100% honest with each other about everything and it feels weird to be keeping this from him. He's also noticed I've been acting odd and distant lately and I want to come clean about emotionally cheating basically. At the same time I don't want to hurt his feelings and the other guy is a regular within our social circle and I don't want things to be awkward if they don't need to be.
