Relationships in Our 20s

I think it is somewhat normal to miss being single. Whether or not it means you should be single again depends on how strong the feeling is, I think. I got married in March of this year and have been with my husband for a little less than 3 1/2 years now. But, most of my friends are single and dating. I talk to them about dating all the time and hear their stories daily. When I hear that, I do sometimes miss the rush of emotions you feel early on when dating/in a relationship. I don't miss it enough that I'd ever consider leaving my husband though (even if we weren't married).

Do you just miss the excitement? Or is there something in the relationship that's making you feel like it's not 100% right? I really missed being single when I was dating my ex of 3 years too... but at that time the feeling was triggered mainly by my feelings toward him (as in, I didn't have any). The "symptoms" were similar, but why I felt them was totally different.

I have been with my b/f for a little over a year now.  We took a break a few mths. ago because I wanted to see if I wanted to continue on in the relationship.  Well I did want to continue on at the time.  I have strong feelings for (I am ashamed to say) several months like I do want to date other people.  My b/f has many great qualities and also some that annoy me or I question if I could actually live with for the rest of my life.  I have had a MANY bad dates so far in my life and I don't feel like going thru that again but why can't I shake this feeling like I still want to date I ask myself for a few mths lately.  I think I am afraid of regretting breaking up with him or not meeting anyone that treats as good as he does, but I have been thinking about this ALOT.  Being alone sucks but I can't shake these feelings.  I don't want to waste alot of time in this relationship if I feel it's not meant to be but I also don't want to regret my decision. 

yea I agree that its normal. i think your just going through the "grass is greener on the other side" outlook, us humans always want more or always wonder. I mean maybe listening to your single friends stories makes you  miss  the single life but, there's always going to more fish in the sea. so I guess it does really depend on how happy you are with your boyfriend. if its just to get it out of your system i would advice you to reconsider because you dont want to loose something good for just this reason. My ex wanted to break-up bc he felt young n what to see what else is out there and a month later we was literally on his hands and knees to get me back. I said hell no, because i felt it was kind of selfish on his behalf. So.. think about it long and hard or you may risk the lost of  a great guy and there's no guarantee he'd take you back.

good luck -
