Nikki Sahagin Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 As everyone knows, when you are young, you change rapidly. You are discovering your goals, dreams, ambitions, desires - you are learning not only about the world and others but about yourself. I wonder - is it possible to learn about yourself and the world TRULY, if you are in a relationship, especially at a young age? Does this somehow affect your development into the person you should become? Can you have a relationship at a young age and truly experience life fully, or will there always be things you must sacrifice and miss out upon in order to make the relationship work?
Exit Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Just depends on the individual. I think I could easily do all of that while still being in a relationship. I'll never understand, girls especially, who pull the whole "I need to go find myself, I feel tied down" stuff. But I know a lot of people who do feel like they would need to be single.
Maxwell Sage Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 I think if you're feeling limited due to your relationship or you feel as though you need to sacrifice certain things to make it work, you won't be able to grow at half the rate you would while being independent. If you feel as though life with the person you're with is more than fulfilling, you guys will grow together.
Author Nikki Sahagin Posted September 22, 2009 Author Posted September 22, 2009 Yes my ex left me saying he needed to find himself and learn about himself and could only do that alone - I suppose I wondered what I was doing that was inhibiting him.
