I agree with mesh that it sounds like some part of you needs a 'backup' plan in case things with your boyfriend don't work out. Some part of you may also need extra 'male' attention to feel good about yourself.

It is really good and positive that you recognize this in yourself and acknowledge that you need to find peace in yourself without the extra male attention and stop this....

So I think you really need to do some work (perhaps with a relationship counsellor/therapist) to find out why your this way inclined and overcome it, because your boyfriend will probably find out, stop trusting you and end it. Then you will get another boyfriend..... and the cycle will repeat...

Have you been really hurt in the past or had a particually traumatic relationship break-up.... or witnessed one with your parents?

Good luck overcoming this.....

Maybe you're scared of commitment, or scared of getting hurt.......so you need to have a backup plan in order to feel good with your boyfriend. It might be something you went through, something you need to deal with in order to have peace and be with one guy at at time.......I could be wrong, but that's my thought
