My (or Human) Nature

 "I can endure not gaining something, but I cannot endure losing what I already have."

The reason someone who has a girlfriend might find themselves falling for another person, yet making no attempt to pursue that new love, is because this psychological mechanism is at play.
What do you think?
I am in exactly this situation right now.
Please address all three of these points.
It’s quite nasty, but here is what I’m currently thinking:
  1. I haven't crossed the line with the new person yet, but I will cross the line secretly without my current girlfriend knowing.
  2. I will date the new person for a while (about a year) to see how things go.
  3. If it seems like things will work out, I will choose the new person. If not, I will continue my relationship with my current girlfriend as if nothing ever happened.
