friday hax chat q: she doesn't think she and bf are right for each other, but breaking up would put a serious dent in her social life

POTENTIALLY LONELY

I don't think my boyfriend and I are right for each other. After being together for about 15 months, I find myself disappointed in many aspects of our relationship. However, I'm hesitant to call it off because he's in the social sport I participate in twice a week, and he was one of my group friends that I was making right before we started dating. He went from one of my guy friends in the group to my boyfriend, and the group dynamic shifted. He was friends with these people for years before I came along (I moved here 1.5 years ago), and I know that people are going to align themselves whether we want them to or not. I'm not just losing a boyfriend if we break up; I'm blowing up my whole social life. I don't have one single "best friend" or even close friend here. In fact, most of my "friends" are just people I see socially at events or in group settings. I don't think I'm ready to deal with the overwhelming loneliness and isolation that will come from this breakup, but I know that isn't a good reason to stay together. What do I do?
