Hey guys,
I just turned 18 and have been in a relationship since I was 15. The girl I’m with is absolutely fantastic. She cares about me, is beautiful, and is all around just a great person. I know I’m so lucky to be in a relationship with her. Lately though, I’ve been feeling doubtful. I’m afraid if I stay with this girl for many years to come I might regret that I was never able to experience other things, or simply being free on my own. I don’t mean I want to “mess around” with other girls or anything, not like that, I just feel I might regret never being on my own and seeing what other experiences are out there. On the other hand, I’m afraid that if I break it off, I’ll be on my own yet always regret that I lost her. It seems to me that I might have regrets either way. Does this make me a jerk? I feel that I should be appreciative of what I have, and yet I can’t help wondering what it would be like to be on my own. I’d appreciate to see what others have to say, from thoughts to experiences.
Thanks
