I was just thinking to myself. I'm not a player or whatever people call it. I'm someone who likes to stick with the one they love, but am I the only person who gets those feelings when your in a relationship but now you feel trapped and you need someone else?
Probably not. I'm guessing that what happens in this case is, the "novelty" of your relationship wears off, and perhaps this novelty is the only thing your relationship has going for it. So you feel trapped and "need" someone else so that the novelty comes back.
But don't take my word for it, I could easily be wrong.
I myself am in a bit of a weird relationship.
The woman I fell in love with actually has no feelings for me past wanting to be friends, thus I'm in the friendzone.
The woman I am dating knows I still have feelings for this woman who put me in the friendzone and from time to time feels threatened by her. I have time and again told her I don't screw around and that I stay loyal. All the same, she can't help but feel like she is competing for my attention. Frankly I can't really blame her.
However, I have stated to her that this woman broke my heart when she shot me down, and that I have withdrawn a lot of my trust in her.
Even going so far as to say; "If you want to just be friends that's fine, but you're going to be treated like the rest of my friends."
In other words, I told her that I wasn't going to go out of my way to help her and and "quality time" was going to stop.
But I digress
Back to your question. If you are happy with the person you're with, stay with them. If you feel trapped, you may not be happy with them. Find out if the feeling is mutual and if need be break it off. Don't milk a one legged dog... or whatever.
But if you are both happy with the relationship, then there is no reason to feel trapped.
Honestly, I think you would only feel that way if that person didn't completely satisfy you, or if that satisfication wore off. When you really love someone you can't get enough of them, so it's impossible to ever feel trapped or as if you needed someone else.
In the great words of Mr. Depp: "If you love two people at the same time choose the second one because if you really loved the first one you wouldn't have fallen for the second." ~Johnny Depp
If you see your self wanting more then it obviously isn't what you want. You can choose to get more out of said relationship or you can move on in search for greener pastures as it were.
Just about exactly how it is.
