Should I be free or in love?

Judith Answers:

Dear petite,

You SHOULD Be Running Around

Nineteen year olds should be running around and having fun (safely, that is!) There is no better time to meet fun people, do silly things, just hang out for hours, etc.

Run WITH Him

My question is -- why can't you run around and have fun with him? I'm guessing your running around is more of the party-all-night variety than the sleep-with-guys variety (am I wrong?) and could easily incorporate a partner to go out with, meet new people, etc. If it is the sleep-with-guys kind of running around, why is he so content to wait for you?

Forrest Or he's insecure enough to think he has no choice. He must really love her.

My guess is he is secure enough that you love him to just wait.

I Have the Same Problem

The problem is, if you love to have fun, you may not get it out of your system. I haven't. We noticed a problem in our relationship when we were just a little older than you. I was similar to you- - would want to do nothing but be social for days or weeks on end, then would be over it and just want to cuddle up at home.

My Fiancé, My Friends

My fiancé is way more even -- he can sit at home for months and go out just occasionally during that period. We are slowly getting into a system -- he goes out with me when I ask directly, we have a blast, and then I am perfectly content to either hang out at home or drag my girlfriends out the next weekend.

Does a system like that sound good to you? Because, there is no reason you shouldn't have fun IN a relationship. Fun is one of the major benefits of a relationship. Just modify your schedule and possibly style for having fun.

I think you'll be fine. Just talk to your boyfriend (ex?) about how you can get your needs met within the relationship.

Judith PS -- Leave Him If It's About Sex, Not Fun

PS -- if the fun you are talking about has more to do with other men, you know you owe it to your boyfriend to break it off for good.
