What shall I do

i have been in a realationship for a while now and i dont think im happy at all. it feels like my life is gone, my friends are not around as much. i dont go out at all, my social life seemed to have vanished all together. i dont think im being controlled by my partner but when my friends ask me to go drinking i have to lie and tell them i cant go. i did have a good social life and loved being with my friends.

This is my first post. I'm hoping I can lend a hand for your problem. I think you need to make a list of what've been missing in your life, something that is not you, something that you're supposed to be but you're not. For example, hanging out with friends. You should then communicate with ur bf, clearly state that u are so into hanging out with ur friends in a friendly manner, try to make him understand and accept the way you are. If he rejects, try to negotiate an agreement with him.. Like.. it won't take long, or do him a favor, or invite him to go with ur friends, or make a double date kind of thing.. Last but not least, communication and understanding are the keys. Hope your problems ease out
