A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

So, to just jump right in, I have been in a relationship for eleven months. This is the longest relationship I have ever been in and the same goes for my boyfriend. I'm about to start my senior year and he graduated in May.

Our schedules conflict all the time and we only get to see each other about once a week. I love spending time with him and it's always relaxing and fun to be together, because we really love each other a whole lot.

The thing is, I find myself wanting to be single sometimes. I never used to feel this way but then one day I just gpt this feeling of wanting to be single. Our relationship is fine, we get along wonderfully but sometimes I just feel stale. I don't want to be with anyone else I just want to be single.

I can usually rationalize saying that I wouldn't want to sacrifice our love, but it's getting more difficult because I'm noticing the smaller cracks in our relationship.

For instance, I love tattoos and piercings and I want to get some after I turn 18 (not immediately of course, don't want to rush those things) but he thinks tattoos and piercings are stupid and that I shouldn't get any. He says I can if I want, but it makes me not want to because I don't want him thinking I'm "stupid".

And he doesn't like my friends for the most part. I'm not a big fanof his either and that makes me feel like if we can't have the same friends and smilar interests are we really so compatible?

And we're only teenagers. Sometimes I feel like I'm too young for such a serious relationship.

Are these worries normal after being with someone for almost a year?
