I am 17 years old and have been with my girlfriend for almost 3 years. When she and I first started dating and for many, many months after, i have thought i had very strong feelings for her. But a few months ago, i became aware of the fact that I am getting bored and do not still have the same feelings. My problem is that she is very attached to me and I feel like I need my space right now. I am sick of feeling married at age 17, but i do not know how to tell her without hurting her very badly. I enjoy her company and feel as though she would be someone i would like to spend the rest of my life with. But for right now... it is just too much. I feel like i need the freedom to experience new things, girls, relationships, etc... How should i go about dealing with my feelings?
