If I feel I have outgrown him, what do you suggest I do?

We have been together for over 5 years, married for just over 1. I am 21, he is 23. I feel like I have outgrown him and his immature ways. For years, I have helped him grow and advance in his life. I pushed him to get a good job, get his license, and create goals for himself. I used to be so deep in love with him, and surrounded my life around him. Now I feel like I love him, but not in a romantic way. Right now in my life, I want to concentrate on myself and my goals and what I want. I do not want to be in any type of domestic relationship. I don't want to be cuddled or held by him or anyone. In the past year he has really improved himself. Its very weird how I feel. I used to want to be that "perfect" wife but now I see that it's all not what it appears to be and I want to be free and not have to answer to anyone. Financially he has really but a strain on me for years but I always stuck by his side, even when he just walked off his job without having another one to fall back on. I don't want any man in my life ruining what I have tried so hard to build up, and that's what he has done to me so many times. I have certainly changed, to the point where I no longer feel compatible with him. I just don't know where to go from here. Try to make it work and figure out what is it that I need to do to fall back in love? When he makes mention of our future, I can't help but cringe inside.

    And this is why us old hags tell you children NOT TO MARRY TOO YOUNG, because THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS.

    We tell you time and again, you'll regret it, you'll grow, you'll change, but NOOOOO, you do it anyway then ponder why things aren't working...ugh. What I suggest you do is at least try to make things work, but honestly, this is pointless. So pointless. I really don't think this will last, even if you do seek help.

    Your marriage is doomed. You were too young to get married. Go to marriage counseling so that both of you know you really tried to live up to your commitment to each other. Re-evaluate in 6 months. If things haven't improved, go ahead and do the divorce paperwork.

    Talk to the guy and let him know what you are feeling, maybe he is feeling the same way.
