I'm pretty lost about the situation i'm so i'll just dive straight in...

I've had a girlfriend for the last 3yrs (of that, living together the last 1.5yrs). It's been great, she is great for me in many ways and we have a lot of fun together. I Love and care about her deeply, I could easily see myself spending the rest of my life with her.
However, I've always felt that i'm missing something, or that there isn't something there for me, i've mostly brushed this aside because you can't have everything in a relationship, no one is perfect etc. The sex is average and always led/dictated by me, she isn't that adventurous, but is always up for it. There isn't and hasn't ever been that lust in from me for her. She would also happily spend all her time with me, whereas I want to spend time apart, doing our own thing. Her with her friends (who she doesn't see much) me with mine, have our own hobbies etc.

Now, there's a female work colleague (we see each other all day, everyday except weekends) who i've been great friends (for want of a better word) since she started 2yrs ago. We have a lot of banter and there's always been some sexual tension between us. Nothing has come of this as we're both in LTR (me 3yrs, her coming up to 5yrs, who she lives with). A while ago though there was a work do and we ended up cuddling up on her couch having a pretty deep conversation.
Since then things have escalated (spending more time together at work, coming in at weekends to see each other) where we have a lot of fun. Then on a work thing away, we ended up spending the night together, she drew the line at having sex though (we did other stuff though). I don't know the situation with her BF, as far as I am aware, she is indecisive about what to do.

Since then i've broken up with my GF as I saw this as a sign I really do need to sit down think about what I want in a relationship and if this is being fulfilled with the GF.

As for what to do now I am completely lost - do I pursue something with the work colleague? or continue with my now-ex? Or neither?

are you on an island where your only options are these two girls or.............

both sound like a pain in the ass to go into. One is in a relationship, the other is something you didn't want. Use your head bro and not your dick.

I never understand people "Drawing the line at sex" as if her boyfriend would say " It totally find that you spent the entire night doing other stuff with a work colleague. As long as you didn't fuck him though everything will be fine". Mind as well just get it all out the way.

Simple answer OP: The grass ain't greener man. If you have a good girl and a stable relationship, and you want to give that up thats fine, just don't think you're giving it up for anything thats going to make you more happy or more content. Both of you guys will have your emotional backlash moments if this continues. Not to mention you don't even know the girl.

So you 'need' someone to make you feel complete?

It's a powerful feeling when you figure out you don't need anyone else to help you survive.

Cheers for the responses guys,much appreciated.

I understand the grass ain't greener, it feels a like settling though if I'm not 100% happy..

I don't think your ex deserves this. And neither do you deserve her.

As far as your co-worker, do you really need the headache? Sleep with each other and get it over with. She still with her boyfriend?

Why not find other girls.

If I was your ex, I would not take you back.

Sounds totally unnecessary, IMHO.

Talk to your girlfriend about a threesome. That's what I do when I get bored. Most of the time they'll be cool about it.

If that doesn't work, experiment for a few weeks with an open relationship. There doesn't have to be an "end it all" scenario if you set aside jealousy and neediness. You can still keep a great girl in your life.

Also, I think 100% happiness with a person is complete bullshit. Every girl is going to have a flaw or two that makes you think. You just have to decide if all her positives outweigh the flaws.

What about a threesome with another man? What if she's banging other dudes? You okay with that?

If a girl I cared about was really into trying that, I might.

I'm not interested in serious relationships filled with drama and "talks". That should be a small percentage of the time only.

Relationships should be fun and mostly easy, with strong levels of attraction and exploring.

OK guys so I massively fucked up here, I was thinking with my dick and not my head.

It's been almost 2months. We lived together and for the first 4/5 weeks I managed to stay at a friends while they were away. Although ex and I still saw each other at weekends. Last 3/4 weeks I've been back at our shared apartment while I find somewhere else to live. During this time I've acted more like a friend rather than relationship (although we have had sex several times). I told her a few days ago that I did want the relationship, was sorry for hurting her and handled the whole situation incorrectly.

She said she didn't know if she wanted it anymore as all she can see when she looks at me is the hurt that I caused her and she doesn't trust that something like this wouldn't happen again.
She stayed at her parents the last couple of days but we had a conversation this morning where I apologised (sincerely, strong, acknowledged my mistake and laid out future behaviour that ensured it wouldn't happen again). We had sex. I reiterated the apology post.

All the way through we've said we love each other and she said she still does. She said she wants to be just friends now "if I can handle that" and see if it develops back into a relationship although I'm not to treat it as anymore than friends. She's happy to have sex though. Also, she's been on a couple of dates with another guy.
I move out tomorrow.

Is there a way to save this? What would you advise?

You have apologized enough (too many) times that's for sure.. Apalogizing too much makes you seem a bit desperate to keep the relationship going and it puts you in a very weak position where she will feel in full control of what is going to happen with you and your relationship

You should state that you are not interested in a friendship and that she is more than welcome to take contact to you, but only if she wants to try getting back together, and then leave it at that. Chances are the new guy will fuck up and she will start wondering why you are not contacting her anymore. If she has any feelings left she will initiative contact and then it is up to you, not to fuck it up.

Putting this aside, remember that there are tons of other woman out there... You have to have the abundancy mentality!

We have Latin & Ballroom lessons on Tuesdays, do I still invite her or no?

Your not listening to the advice that has already been given!
