A couple of things:

-You may just need to break it off. It won't be fun, and you may regret your decision afterwards, but the relationship may have gone as far as it can go. These are the worst because it's always just good enough that you can drag it out another year, then another...

-Like other posters have said, is there anything she can do? Wear more make up? Dress less frumpily? Act more sexy? Or is it just that you're not into her basic appearance?

-Any guy in a long term relationship has to deal with that need for newness and variety and excitement versus the good, but same old same old. If you're serious about the relationship then you learn to deal with these feelings when they arise and disregard them. I mean imagine being married for 15 years? That's gotta be hard in places.

-With my relationship I notice my 'grass is greener' thinking goes up when my own life isn't going as great as it could. When you've got other problems and you're a little down, you start to romanticize the excitement of meeting someone new as the solution to all your problems. When I get my life together again I suddenly don't feel the need to recapture my single life. You may be stressing out about moving in with her and the adjustments that go along with all that and you're fantasizing about escaping.

-Don't hook up with her friend. Man, I know you know that's self-destructive and emotionally immature. Just let that particular infatuation pass. If you're going to go after another girl go after someone who's a total stranger.

-People lie about why they break up all the time, that's not a problem.

-Hey, why not just cheat on her?!!?!? You get to have your cake and eat it too!!! Nope, no problems with that idea. But seriously, life would be a lot better if guys were occasionally allowed to sleep with someone else to get it out of their system.
