IN regards to your marriage?
is it bad if someone tells their partner that they feel they are IN Prison, in reference to their marriage?
is that a red flag or is that normal and sometimes people do feel that way but it's part of being married?
Yes with my ex wife , that was very selfish and only wanted things to go her way or no way , No matter what I did it was never good enough , she tried controlling me and manipulated me , she would point fingers at me before pointing fingers at herself first , she could never admit she was wrong. She was verbally abusive and belittled me and criticized me every chance she got , I felt like Inwas walking on constant egg shells , I stood by her side thinking it was the right thing to do for my kids’ sake , I was wrong , I eventually busted her having an affair and that was my final straw to kick her ass out. She has been begging for me back ever since , stupid me tried giving her a second chance but I realized I was dumb to think things would change , never take an ex back period
No. Actually I think being in long term unmarried relationships are way more like prison.. like being in prison without a trial and not known how long the sentence is. Marrying the right person is more like increasing the size of your family. The idea of getting married to the wrong woman is just like the idea of going to prison so if a guy had doubts that you are wife material then he will think of it like that.
We are an intelligent species; we should use our intelligence to communicate and solve problems...
If we feel like we are in prison, we should communicate it openly, pinpoint problematic elements and try to find a working agreement for both sides.
It can happen. Most of the time it just requires a little effort to "break out" of the routine that makes them feel that way.

No, when I was married, I never felt like I was in prison, stuck with the marriage. Either one of us could leave at any time... and eventually, after 20 years , we did... in an amicable divorce.
When I got married we got pregnant right away. I was workungva crappy sales job 6 days ago week and barely scraping by. My day off was spent fixing up our house and a million other things. I never saw my friends anymore and never had any fun. I think if a car jumped on the sidewalk I probably would not try too hard to jump out of the way.
Any commitment is an obligation that can be described in the modern language as being a bit like a prison without walls as you are captive to it.
It is not a correct use of the term and certantly unwise as it might make many other people feel insecure with the implied desire to leave.
But the feeling it describes can at times be commonly felt for any commitment with marriage being no exception.
I'm currently single, but if I was married and my partner ever told me they felt like they were in prison, I'd tell them "Then go be free." I'd get the papers ready for them. Because I would never make someone feel trapped. I'm not a controlling person in the slightest. All I desire is for my partner to communicate what's on their mind.
If you are married and it feels like a prison you are doing something wrong. I go out by myself regularly as does my wife we let each other know first out of courtesy too many young couples make the mistake of thinking they have to ask. You don't. You inform your partner that it is happening, you love them, you'll be back around x time and done.
I guess, it's something we should say to our better half. I'm married, and it's tuff. But when there is love we can endure, communication is the key. Keeping serious things to ourselves will destroy.
I would never say that, only if things would be very messed up and realise that didn't existed hope from both parts.
If there are things to solve, communicate. Or you are condemning your marriage.
Every relationship has good times and not so good times. I think many times married couples become to comfortable and quit trying to support each other and helping each other grow. They end up building resentment and that comes out in different ways. I just got divorced after almost 20 years. I never felt it was like prison but there were defiantly stretches that were not fun.
I would say "COMMITED" as like into the asylum.🤣 would be a more proper analogy.
If you married the right woman, no. You never feel in prison. But you may feel like you're on the funny farm and still want to choke the living 💩 out of her at times.🙃
It's felt like that many times for me , horrendous feeling of being trapped , it's not nice , if it feels like that , it's really time to move on..
As it's only going to get worse..
My marriage is 24/7 joy, and that is how it should be, over 8 years, and happier than ever.
What do you think was the reason I proposed to you 👿👿
that has never happened to me, so without knowing the circumstances that would have led up to her making a statement like that I just cannot say what my reaction would be.
To me, finding a happy marriage to enter into is like Wile E. Coyote chasing the Road Runner.
That means one of the partners is a controlling narcissist.
It’s worse than Prison. I’ve been married 24 years. People have less time for murder.
I'm not married.
