My case is very intersting indeed. i am dating this girl for 3 years and she wants an engagement from me. but i am only 20 for gods sake and she blames me for being a coward and such. she continueously takes me apart from my friends and forces me to keep my interest on her. i cannot stand her and i cannot leave hir i feel like i am bound to her i know my situation isnot clear but i cannot give any more clues since she is heard of this site and may be reading this. should i dump her or sit there and stand the pain forever thinking that she would get her if i dump her… ---
