Question - (5 April 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 5 April 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, *s Diva writes:

Hey everyone :) Well i am 21 years old and have been in a relationship for the past 4 years.... I love my boyfriend so much but sometimes i feel like im tied down and cant do anything without thinking about his reaction. Im young and i wanna go out and have fun with male and females but he doesnt like that. I always put his needs before mines!( I know thats not good) but he comes first and im last... I dont know why i do it. I dony have any friends and my family is not talking to me at all :( So at the end of the day all i have is him ( hes been with me since my family situation started) so i feel obligated.... I feel completly lost and alone and my confidence is gone. Maybe the fact i been with him so long and i feel that nobody else would want me or treat me as good. And when i do meet someone new (a guy) i never pursue cause im afraid my boyfriend will find out, or its not worth losing everything with built because of my infatuation. But i want to talk to this guy i met and just have fun!!! but i can lose everything

You mentioned you love him, but you don't seem happy with this relationship at all. Its never a good thing to give up who you truly are for someone else. He doesn't allow you to go out with friends is controlling behaviour. Reassurre him that you love him, and you need your own personal space at times. If he's not understanding to your needs it might be time to re evaluate your relationship.

I say best to just confront him about it and try to work things out. My gf dumped me a month ago for similar reasons but not really since I never prevented her from hanging out with her friends or even talking to other guys. So I'm confused. But yeah I say confront him.
