<human>: I guess that's to be expected at this age.

I met my boyfriend in the second year of high school. He and I share a lot of common interests, so we hit it off pretty quickly. Unsurprisingly, we started dating a short while after. It wasn't always smooth sailing, but he became one of my closest confidants and best friends.

Fast forward to this year, we both left town for different colleges. So long distance. Towards the beginning of the year, we kept in contact with skype and messaging. Admittedly, I began to find myself swept away by the change of scenery around this time. With heading to college, I found a new job, new friends and I was pretty busy trying to juggle everything. The red flags first popped up when I found myself becoming less concerned with responding to his messages. Eventually, even talking to him felt like a chore. In all honesty, I could feel my attraction to him waning, and I was sure at the time that I needed to end things.

To complicate things, I also noticed myself developing a fairly significant crush on another friend of mine. This probably compounded the issue.

My boyfriend noticed my distance, and he confronted me about it. I told him the truth about how I felt, but what I didn't expect was a sudden onset of feelings of guilt and loss. I started crying midway through. He's my first boyfriend and the 3 years certainly weren't meaningless to me. Much to my chagrin later, I chickened out of ending things and asked for a 'break' in the relationship.

Now, I'm really uncertain about where I stand. I feel absolutely awful about putting this much stress on my boyfriend. I'm really not as attracted to him as I was before, but I worry that this is just a temporary phase (maybe from moving past the honeymoon stage). Or if I'm just going through a "grass is greener" moment with my friend. As my feelings are right now, I definitely don't want to continue with the relationship, but I'm worried this might change. As in, am I just losing sight of a good relationship because of distraction?

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Left for college, don't feel as attracted to boyfriend, not sure whether to break up or if its just a temporary thing.
