Question
QUESTION: I recently found out my boyfriend had received an email from a girl that asked him if he could send a picture of him and what his interests are.  He had replied by saying how old his is, along with his picture.
I dont know what to think, if he is just curious and playing around, or if he is interested.

ANSWER: You shouldn't jump to conclusions without having more details, right now this might just be a new friend your boyfriend is meeting, it doesn't mean he is trying to start any form of romantic or sexual relationship with this woman. What you need to do is just keep and eye on him and see if you notice him starting to act strange. But for right now, he hasn't really done anything wrong.

QUESTION: Thank you for you response, I will keep an eye for anything usual.
For my boyfriend to respond to this girls email, do you think he may be looking for excitement outside of our relationship?  We have been together for 3 years. I am 29 he is 33.
I do have to tell you, he has done this before about a year ago, he had told me he was in a weird place of his life. I am  feeling maybe, its just not right between us.
Thanks again

Answer
Seeing as how this isn't the first time, looking outside the relationship for other women and not being sure you are what he wants, maybe it is time for you to seek an end to the relationship. Why should you have to sit around and wait for him to make up his mind whether he wants you or not.

Instead of letting him decide, you should make the choice, instead of waiting for him to get his feelings together, you should go out and find somebody you don't have to worry about whether they want you or not.

If I were you I might look into ending the relationship or at least taking a break until he knows exactly what he wants.
