Either: a) Talk about it and make changes. b) Get out of the relationship.
-
well just try to talk about it and talk things through.. there is nothing wrong in telling your partner how you feel and what can you guys do to change the situation to make it better. if by trapped you mean that you wanna get out of it, just tell that person the reason you dont wanna be with them.. alittle honesty sometimes doesnt hurt the soul.
-
Get out but hopefully after discussions and with as little hurt and bad feeling as possible
-
well if its serious get out but talk first if there is physical abuse call the authorities

I concur with Nevets except to say that, before talking with each other...let cooler heads prevail. If the feeling of being trapped is new, wait a bit to see if it rights itself. Most relationships tend to list one way or another... we wax and wane a little. If it does not right itself, then discuss making changes or discuss ending it. Either way, you have to have the discussion.

Leave. As a male my answer is a "fix it" type of answer because that's what we do.

I think you first need to explore the feelings of being trapped. What about the relationship makes you feel trapped? What part do you feel trapped by? Try adding some adjectives and being more specific, "I feel financially trapped," or "I feel emotionally trapped." You need to understand and accept exactly how you feel and why before you take any action. Otherwise, you will most likely take action that you regret later. Once you figure out exactly how you feel and why, you can decide on what type of action to take. Either you have to live with the feeling, make changes to yourself, or make changes to the relationship. You cannot change another person. This may mean learning to deal with the feelings. This may mean changing the way you approach finances. This may mean leaving the relationship. In the end, you have to decide. You cannot force someone else to change. It is an exercise in futility. The more you try, the more resistant to change the person will become.

Small arguments make you both visible in a relationship; visible to love, and visible to adapt to eachother. Don't give your partner to much space, even if you want to keep the peace. Crossing yourself out is similar to leaving your partner. Listen to your inner voice (even if it is allready whispering), translate this into willpower and express your wishes clearly. If your relationship isn't based on equality, one might overrule the other. The latter feeling trapped. If your partner isn't reasonable,seek counseling. If nothing seems to work, get out; you aren't meant to be together.

get out. it's only gonna make you miserable.
-
Save yourself, RUN!!! get out when the intuition strikes you.
-
if you feel trapped and think the relationship is going nowhere then i would either talk to my partner about my concerns and see if there was a way around it or just call it a day. most people feel trapped at times but if you both love each other then you can normally sort out the problems together

Theres a number of ways to escape the feeling of being trapped in a relationship, but unfortunately each and every one requires some level of confidence and none or little fear in cutting ties with something, or someone. I think the wisest way, and one of the most popular ways to go about this is for you to talk to your partner. I'll assume you've been together for longer than a few weeks and may even live together - theres nothing better than talking things through, whether that involves an argument or not (if so then so be it) and whatever comes of that argument should be for the best. It's always good to take a step back and look at what you have - You may miss it a little too much when it's gone? Hope this helped.

If you love your partner.. then its the hardest things to let go. You always feel like giving them just one more chance but theres always a limit to how many chances he/she will get and its upto you to decide, otherwise things will be like it is forever. You cant live your whole life feeling trapped, so if you really feel trapped then you need to let go for best.

I came across your message because I googled the same statement. I too am in a relationship that I feel trapped in. I have ended the relationship a few times in the past to only get back together. Stupid – I know! The last time I got back with this guy was due to him being in the hospital ER and no one else was there, so I thought I would help. I feel that I am being used and when I bring things up he gets very angry and belittles me so much that it seems easier to stay with him then to deal with his anger. I don’t know what to do because every time I try to break it off he starts yelling and gets right up in my face and tells me that I am the one with the problem. I know that it is not me but feel scared to do anything. How did your situation end up?

GET OUT!!!!!! I don't know your situation, and I don't know how long you guys have been together or if you have any children together or not. But listen, things will only get WORSE from here. Don't fool yourself that he/she will change because people don't change. It doesn't have anything to do with love, he/she might love you and you might love them too and I know people say "if you really love each other you can work things out" but you can't because the bottom line is it takes much more than love to make a relationship work. Trust me, I speak from experiance, because I though he would change, and didn't have the guts to leave him and ended up felling trapped and wasting 6 years of my life blaming myself for every argument and giving him a chance after chance only to reaslize after all this time that no matter how many chances I give him and no matter how much I try, if he doesnt want to change its all just a waste. I learned the hard way that when you feel trapped instead of hoping that things will change, you should cut your loses and move on.

Get untrapped.

When I feel like this, I run. Sad but true.
-
Leave, staying in a relationship in which you feel trapped will most likely cause resentment down the road.
-
