Why do i want to break up with my girlfriend?

I've been dating this girl for about 6 months. She is 21 and I am 28... Everything was going fine until a couple of months ago when my friend moved into my apartment. He's a very nice and funny guy to a fault. Ever since my girlfriend has been visiting, I notice that she laughs a lot and is much more outgoing around him. I can't help but feel jealous. On top of her bubbly side coming out, she has been asking about him whenever he's not around. I wish I could entertain her better to the point that she doesn't need to inquire about him. I often feel boring with her, running out of conversation and not being able to come up with activities to do when she visits. I seem to get jealous, irritated and insecure. On top of this, she is in Hawaii for vacation and my good friend who lives there is showing her around and he is very funny and entertaining. I feel like a schmuck in comparison to my friends. When she returns, she'll probably realize this unless I get my act together, which I've had difficulty doing. Does anyone have any advice?

    If she is still with you, then there is something besides "excitement" that she sees in you. A hip girl like herself wouldn't be with you if she thought she could do better. You must have something special that lures her in.

    Just figure out what it is that you give her that no-one else can, then lay it on thick. Anyone can make someone laugh but it takes a lot more than that to build a good relationship. Who knows, maybe shes just over compensating cause she knows your both good friends and she wants to be a part of it.

    I'm female and have the best laughs with the lads I go out with BUT I am married to the most caring considerate man and I wouldn't go out with any of those clowns if my life depended on it. We don't need a clown all the time who craves attention, although funny in small doses, many of us prefer someone settled and sensible.

    I'm sure you'll find out soon enough but in the meantime find some interesting things that a tourist might like to see if they came to your area, and go on a picnic for the day.

      Thank you for the words. I feel more secure & confident believing she might ultimately prefer a nice and caring guy.

    Well it seems like you are the problem not her. Try to be more outgoing and take her out etc. But also make sure she isn't interested in anyone else!

    Have you tried talking to her about it? Ask her if she thinks you're boring. Ask her what would spice things up, or is there anything she'll like to do or somewhere she would like to go.

    Well she's obviously with you. Just because she laughs a lot doesn't mean she's having more fun with them than you.

    Why don't you talk to her about it?
