Have you ever felt detached from a perfectly good relationship?

Hi. I feel so mean writing this about my boyfriend but I just need some advice.

We’ve literally only been together 3 months, but have known each other longer and therefore live together in a studio flat as it makes things a lot cheaper. Yes I know that’s quick but we’ve known eachother ages so it’s fine.

He’s nice to live with, cleans and cooks and all that, so no problems there. He’s a good boyfriend, always makes me feel loved etc. But I just feel really detached if that makes sense? Like sometimes I just forget I’m in a relationship with him, and when I think about it I feel trapped. I think I just feel like I have no escape, he wants to buy a house and I’ve opened a help to buy and am focusing on getting savings into it; he’s doing the same. But I kind of miss being single and travelling solo and just being me. I feel like I change a lot in a relationship, like I get comfortable and stop going to the gym and stop travelling solo because I feel guilty etc.

I just want out but I don’t know if it’s normal to feel that way about a nice otherwise healthy relationship

It sounds like you shouldn't be in a relationship with him. Leave him before you break his heart.
