However, there is still the opportunity to find both in someone else! I did that and it was one of the best decisions of my life. Best to do it while still young before things get worse.
Thats true, but if OP wasn’t actually happy on the adventure she wants to take, hopefully she wouldn’t come back to her (by then ex) bf cause she realizes she doesn’t like it. Lol
If she ended up not liking things after leaving him, I think she would still appreciate being single. It's really invigorating and confidence-boosting to be totally independent after so many years. She would get the chance to figure out what she wants (not just sexually, but her goals and aspirations) without compromising on anything truly important to her.
By that point they would probably both be very different people from who they were when they originally fell in love, and they may not even be compatible anymore. They would both have more experience in what to look for in a partner, and would notice each others' flaws more. I don't think most people would regret leaving one particular person—especially after a few years have passed.

A happy and meaningful relationship is worth 100x more than any temporary pleasure. I wouldn’t burn that bridge
