Should I tell my boyfriend that I sometimes still miss my two-year crush (who now already has girlfriend)?

No, you should not tell him. Yes, it will hurt your current relationship. No, you are not doing anything wrong.

People always seem to think that having feelings they can’t control makes them wrong. It doesn’t, it’s actions that are wrong, not feelings.

One thing I think is important for you to understand is that the reason you have these feelings towards this guy in your past is because he is in your past. You would be having different feelings towards him if he was your boyfriend now. Perhaps you’d be having feelings for your ex-ex-boyfriends.

In other words, the feelings don’t really mean anything. They don’t mean you’re a better match for the last guy, they don’t mean that you’re not a good match for this guy. They literally mean nothing.

You and your current boyfriend don’t seem very serious. If you start bringing up this past relationship, first off he’s going to wonder why you’re bringing him up now. Then he’s going to wonder how far the feelings go and what they mean, even though they’re meaningless. If you guys were more serious then he wouldn’t care because your relationship would be stronger than incidental stray feelings.

The right move here is to focus more on your current relationship. Build a rapport where you can share these sorts of things with each other and not worry about it. It takes time and effort but it’s worth it.
