<human>: I'll keep it short and simple- my bf and I have been long distance for two and a half years. We have talked about marriage and te like. I enjoy being able to text him during the day, but when we get together we fight... A lot. Last visit he threatened to break up with me several times.

Throughout all this I got a new job and have been working with Alex, 25M. Alex isn't perfect by any means but I find him nice and he respects my intelligence. I have no idea if he's attracted to me or not but I'm leaning towards no unless I lose some weight (I'm a little chubby). But lately I found that I keep thinking that if he asked me out I would break up with my boyfriend to go out with him, but since he knows I have a boyfriend he won't entertain the idea at all because he's a nice guy. Unlike me..

I guess I am afraid to break up with boyfriend because I don't want to be alone, especially since I have no idea if Alex sees me that way. I do have feelings of love and affection with my boyfriend but being long distance with no end in sight is really starting to wear
On me..

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I kind of want to break up with my boyfriend to go out with another guy but I don't know if the other guy even likes
