Is it normal that i want to be free?

My boyfriend and I have been together the majority of our lives(8yrs in Aug.) My best friend is his cousin, and she's the only real way I get to see him a few times a month. I get tired of her sometimes and when I'm not around him it feels like I should be doing something else rather than wasting my youth in a serious relationship. I feel tied down, stuck in this stronghold of emotion. I'm so young, and I feel I have so much more ahead of me than this. I don't know how, but is it normal that I only want to be free?

    I guess it's normal. But if you have a good relationship don't ruin it by temporary feelings you have. Think in the long run. If he's a good guy, stay with him, be the girl he needs you to be. Speaking out of experiance.

    Only trying to help, hope it does. Though this one comment on this one website probably won't sway your desision one way or another.

    Go ahead and live your life. This is the exact reason I don't date seriously so young because girls cheat and want freedom and I don't blame them

    If you view your relationship as a waste then why don't you brake up with him? It wouldn't be fair to him if you stayed in the relationship and then later on started to blame or hate him for "wasting your youth", which could happen. It's not like he's trapping you, just do what you want for goodness sake!

      I understand what you're saying and as for why I have yet to break it off. Well, the immense amount of emotion I feel when in his presence is insane and I know I'd never want to leave that or him behind.

    If the majority of your life is 8 years, that means you are 16 or younger. Either you don't know what majority means or you have been dating someone since you were 8 and you are 16 now. Which is too young to be on IIN.
