Sometimes I feel trapped in my marriage. How do I deal with this in a healthy way?

Feeling trapped is usually a sign of an unmet need, not necessarily a sign that the marriage must end. Identify the real cause of the feeling, whether boredom, losing yourself, or unresolved conflict. Tell your spouse honestly and find room for personal growth within the marriage. Renew your own interests, healthy social connections and goals. Avoid making big decisions while under pressure. If this feeling is heavy and long-lasting, seek counselling. Many feelings of being trapped ease once the needs are addressed. See mental health.
