Am I being bad in this situation

[tulip pollen]

I have been with my partner for a little while and it's been great we haven't had any problems but I feel like I don't feel the same way anymore.I have liked someone else for a bit but would never ever cheat under any circumstances.I care about them but I just don't feel that connection anymore.I want to be friends but I can't find a way to bring it up.I feel trapped on top of it all and I feel like it's due to one of my past relationships where they started shit after our breakup even though my partner reassured me that wouldn't be the case.They told me that they felt like they were failing the relationship and I told them they weren't.I wasn't lying but i feel like for the past month I've been sugar coating and using white lies waiting for myself to I guess catch feelings again? I know I can't control how I feel but I honestly just can't see past all the stuff that's happened before

The easiest way to do this is to have a real conversation with them and let them know why it isint working. I understand being afraid becuse of previous relationships but you know what will happen with them becuse you know them I hope this helps
