I’m thinking of leaving my long-term partner to play the field

If you simply want more sex, you are unlikely to achieve that goal by making yourself single.

* My friend has recently split up with his long-term girlfriend (he is in his early 30s, as am I), and is really enjoying his new, revived, single sex life.

It’s made me question my relationship — whether I’m happy or not. I’ve been in a relationship for eight years and we have lived together for five years now. Should I play the field before settling down for life? I don’t want to realise later that I’ve missed out.
