Boyfriend vs. Inmate dilemma 😵

Hello ladies so never did I think I'd be in a position like this. I'm currently with my boyfriend of three years. Lately , about 3 months I have not been feeling our love is there for each other. I care for him dearly but I'm just not sure if I'm still in love with him. I tried having a talk with him expressing how I feel but he just didn't acknowledge it. It went more down the lines of ," we are great together, we can make a good future but if your done with me and don't love me then just tell me and get out of my life" .... He was very straight to the point, feel like I can't blame him for it. I'm guessing I was expecting of an actual talk about where we stand, why are we not as happy as before, and why are we constantly fighting, etc. Nope didn't go that way.

Now another back story , a while back I had reached out to an inmate looking for a penpal buddy. I decided to because I watched this documentary of how the system is , etc. And one person mentioned how hard of a time it was for them but what got them through the day was receiving these letters. So I thought why not do the same for someone who may be going through a hard time while being incarcerated. So I found this guys profile, who stood out to me because 1. we are the same age (23yrs old) , 2. Had been sentenced to 10 years but has only completely 5 years so far, 3. Had a very funny bio that seemed more authentic and genuine than the rest of the profiles.

So there it is I became penpal buddies with an inmate which surprisingly started off very well. Our letters grew longer, became more in depth, we started spilling out our secrets to each other and just overall talking about everything and anything, from relevant to not , from past to present and even hopes of a future. We managed to talk on the phone, with actually a few times getting stuck on there with him for about 2 hours.

But now here's the tricky part, I see myself falling for him and who he is. I'm starting to see a future with him but I'm so unsure of my relationship with my boyfriend now. It tears me apart because I do love my boyfriend we've built so much together but this new guy has made me forget about everything around me , had me feeling on top of the world... So I'm not sure what to do or where to go with this.....
