A female Canada age 30-35, *.Sawyer writes:

Because my boyfriend and i are still young, we have feelings of being tied down after being together for so long. We tend to get mad over some pointless things, and feel a little trapped. However on many occasions we also have so much fun and wish to be together a lot longer. Why are we feeling these mixed emotions and what can i do? Help Please!

A reader, anonymous, writes (5 September 2010):

Do you both tend to think about the future, and wonder how your relationship will turn out? Do you think about long-term plans, commitments, living together, things like that? If you do, it might seem a bit too much right now, and that could cause you both to feel trapped and to want to pull away.

Try to concentrate on what you have now, and don't think about the future so much. There is no need to start making plans, or think about any major commitments. Just enjoy the relationship for what it is, and let it grow on it's own. Things will develop as they should in their own time. It doesn't have to be so serious.

Also, if you spend a lot of time together, that can also make you feel a bit trapped, and can cause arguments. It is good to have some time apart every so often, to focus on other things, to get some space, and to keep the relationship feeling alive. So if you start to feel tied down, try having a bit of space, and see if that helps.
