Trapped

I am feeling trapped and wanting out, but worrying about what others might think. I am facing difficulties in relationship due to my boyfriend's behavior and the influence of my friends. Feeling judged and manipulated is taking heavy toll.

Hi there. So sorry to hear you’re having relationship difficulties due to your boyfriend’s behaviour. Feeling judged and manipulated will take a heavy toll on you. Are you ok to expand on what’s been happening so we can understand a bit more? 

Thanks so much for reaching out.

if you know you want out then find a way .... your BF or your friends do not get to tell you that you must stay etc.    we do so many things in life for the wrong reasons because friends or partner suggest it or tell us this is the right thing .... being unhappy or trapped is not something you should deal with for everyone else feelings or ideas.

@ownstory000I've always liked the advice to look at it from an outside perspective, like if one of your friends was in your situation what would you tell them to do? If you know you need to leave, start making a plan for each difficulty you face so you can feel prepared. You didn't share much about the situation but from the sounds of it, you may also want to consider if these are real friends. It doesn't sound like they're either supportive or good for your mental health. Sending good vibes.
