Sometimes when we're about to make a potentially life-changing decision, a little validation is a nice thing to have.
After rereading the OP, it seems pretty clear what King's intentions are... the post is 95% about the 19-year-old, and only briefly mentions his girlfriend. I don't really think he was asking if he should cheat or whether he should stay with his girlfriend or not... but how to start a relationship with this other girl without turning it into one big clusterfuck of hurt feelings and messy living situations.
And the answer is that you can't really avoid any of that nastiness, unfortunately. You'll just have to face the music, both with your girlfriend and her boyfriend, if you really want to make the switch. If I were you, I'd tell your girlfriend everything (your feelings, your intentions, etc) and then figure out a new living situation... and then respect what you two had together and don't start dating this new girl until your current girlfriend is out of the picture (meaning you're not living together anymore).
