Now sure what to do...?

I'm 21 and have been going out with my first (ever) boyfriend for 17 months. I've been having dreams where I leave him, and have been thinking about going out and partying, like I use to with all of my girl friends. But the problem is, my boyfriend doesn't like going out most of the time, and when he does, I can tell he wants to go home (and will sometimes ask me if we can go home). I love my boyfriend a lot, but I want to go out and have fun like I used to and not worry about my bf worrying. And I want to go out with just my girls. But he usually gets butt hurt whenever I want to do that. I don't want to break up with him b/c I love him. Any advice?

    Thats a common problem. He either has to begin to trust you enough to let you explore on your own, ....or develop a common vice! They say that common dreams of breaking up mean that you are really secure in your relationship. Too bad its not him having the dreams huh! Good luck.

    Either you have to simmer down and follow his wishes for you to be at home with him all the time or you need to live up your party years and be single...at 21 it can only be one way. Alot of couples have this problem but when you get older all the hanging out becomes old news and you realize you aren't missing out on anything. He does need to understand that everyone needs their time and you should be able to go out with your girls...This is a toughy and damn sure a Catch 22...Good luck!

    just talk to him. you two need work together and figure it out. chances are, he's feeling a little bit of this too. relationships are all about sacrifices- for both of you.

    you can start bringing him with you or have some of his friends and your friends go out together
