Is it normal to feel trapped in a relationship?

Your too young to be tied down. Highschool relationships don't usually last. You need to lethim go and have some fun. You only live once.

I know exactly what you mean. It sucks but it's how things are. I'm kind of In the same predcament but if you love them enough you will not cheat and stay strong.

I think it's normal but if you really love him, you'll do the right thing and not cheat

I was in the same boat. I knew my first love from when I was 5 years old. We were best friends. We got together when we were 17 and dated each other for over 2 years. I loved him to death, and it seemed that we had no real fights. We always just talked everything through. I was always worried about never having even dated anyone else, but he loved me so much... One day after a fabulous weekend with him, I just broke down and broke up with him. I made the mistake to keep seeing him until I made myself move to get away from him. When I moved, I found an amazing boy who was so much more perfect for me. I had never known I could be compatible like that because I had never tried anything else. He wasn't perfect for me either, but I am so much happier living my life now. Instead of strapping myself to a boy for the rest of my life, I became an independent woman who doesn't have to depend on anyone.

I have to say, breaking up with someone you love dearly is incredibly difficult, but it will just get harder. I had been lying to myself that I wanted to be in the relationship for a while. Make sure you aren't lying to yourself as well. You change the most during your late teens and early 20s. I am a totally different person than I was when I was dating my first love.

Experience life!! That doesn't mean have sex with different people. I skydived, went to Australia and scuba dived on the Great Barrier Reef, I went out dancing with my girlfriends... I became so much closer to my friends than I would ever have if I hadn't split with the boy. Life is exciting. If you feel stuck, do something to get unstuck!

Good Luck!! <3

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh honey! I feel soooooooooo bad for you!:( I"m sorry to hear that! That's what happens when you get into a relationship too soon! You needed to wait a little and see if your ready! NEVER EVER IN A MILLION YEARS RUSH INTO BAD THINGS! Take sometime out and figure out your life! He can wait sweetheart! Men come and go, but your life is only here once! And if he doesn't understand the fact that you need time to think, they he isn't for you honey! Oh and about being trapped, if you still love him even though he IS the MAIN reason why you missed out on the good years (Teenage life) then you stay with him! But if you feel like your life is just going too fast and you need to breathe, then do it! Your smart, I"m sure! You know what to do! Trust your heart! I hope it works out for you!:) SMILES!

Love,

why dont you ask him if you can just have a casual relationship with him. that way you can still see each other but you arent tied down to just one guy and having to see him every saturday night when you could be going out with your girlfriends, having a good time. 19 is too young to be in a serious relationship, especially since you have never been with anyone else. if you stay with him, chances are a few years down the track you will cheat on him because you will be so bored and your curiosity will get the better of you wanting to know what its like being with another guy.

I don't think these feelings are just going to disappear. How many more months or years do you want to feel this way?

That's what happens when you end up in a serious relationship with the person you lose your virginity to. You get that feeling of not experiencing more, and the thought of what if someone else is better than him in bed. Course, I was unhappy with the guy i was with when I thought that so...I dunno. Maybe talk to him about this? Search within yourself really deep and tell me if you are 100% happy with this guy. If not maybe it's time to move on before you do end up cheating.

I was 21 when I married. I felt trapped because my wife stopped the pill without me knowing. When I was 35ish I began to feel attached to all sorts of girls & women as I realised I'd missed out on a lot of sexual fantasies and adventures. I have had a number of sexual encounters as I have tried to catch up on lost time and how sexual trends have changed over the years. Inhibitions & taboo's are no longer a concern with sex now.

I understand your fears and can only say you have a choice stay with him & play away. Or split up with him and forfill your desires attractions to new lovers with fresh and exciting sex. Or you could shut up & put up.

this normally happens after being in a relationship for a while. however, this is normally a feeling that men have. if you feel this way with your current boyfriend you will most likely feel this way with any other guy you start to date. Just because you're in a relationship doesn't mean you aren't going to or can't feel sexually aroused by people other than your boyfriend. that's normal.

it's also normal at your age to look back and feel like you've missed out on things. but when looking back on their life, people normally only look at what they could have done and don't see what they have done. while you may have missed out on sleeping around or dating a whole lot of guys, you didn't miss out on having a fulfilling and long lasting relationship. it's up to you which you would rather have.

if i were you i would try to remember all the times in high school when it was awesome to be in a relationship rather than be single and floating around.

i think you may be feeling a little jealousy towards your boyfriend since he has had more sexual partners than you, this is something you should talk to your boy friend about.

when i 've read your story , i felt not alone anymore. i feel exactly the same way! i've never cheated on my bf but it's getting harder for me to keep from doing it! i thought to break up but i fear i won't find another man who loves me. but i cannot hide him my feelings! i'm trapped!! help me
