I agree with Cat. Age isn't a major issue, though there's more pressure to settle down & be in a long term relationship when your older.
Only you can decide what to do, but you seem to care about him a lot. Why not take other suggestions & try add some fun back into your relationship, or why not go out on nights with your different groups of friends so that you can have fun & appreciate having him to go back to?
Think it through, and do what you feels best. But the key thing is to be happy.
If your not happy in the relationship, and if you work on it and then your still unhappy. Then maybe it's best to move on.
But again. Only you know how you truly feel.
Good luck<3

Ive been with my boy since we were 17, we are now both 20, and engaged. And we are also doing long distance as we are a 4 hour train ride away from each other. But it works, you just have to talk, if somethings bothering you then talk about it. We make time to talk on skype or msn for atleast an hour every other day to catch up, and send texts so say good night even if we are out doing our own thing.
Long term relationships take work, from both people, so talk to him, he may be having concerns aswell, then you can work it out, say have 1 or 2 nights a week when you go out with your own friends, or even group up and have nights out with all your friends together.
I hope it works out for you. If you want it to work deep down then you will figure out whats the best solution :)

I haven't really been single single since I was 15.
I was in a relationship for two and a half years which fizzled out after a year, so jumping straight into another one worked out alright.
In my current relationship, we've had many many breaks but we're together at the moment.
I used to think if it was 'right', it shouldn't be hard.
I've since realised that's bullshít.
I ain't been single since I was 15 either.
Dated one lad from 15 till I was 19, then at 19 I dated a lad for 7 months, next relationship lasted 3 days (who ran off with my best friend) and my current relationship is 14 months. I am 21 in December and never been single for longer than a week.
Let me be the one you call
If you jump i'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn YOU'RE NOT ALONE
That's the average I'd say anyways, due to the fact that's half of a year. =P
i don't really think you can set a time for it officially become "long term".surely it's more to do with the plans for it to be long term?
like ive been in a relationship for like 3&a half months - i can't speed up time & make it "long term" or "serious".
we're getting married though whether she likes it or not.
&linda's gonna have a chinese baby for us.
whether she likes it or not.
I roll over and hold on tightly, and whisper "If they want you, they're gonna have to fight me,"
I did what people have suggested about ike having fun and it did work. We had such a nice day on Tuesday and it wasn't all about sex like it has been recently so it was really good.
in fairness if your question had just been relationships id have still said no. i cant understand why youd want to be in a long relationship so young - it SCARES me, asnd im a girl lol. i couldnt - i live with a girl who has been with her boyfriend for almost 3 years and they talk about marriage and shes only 20 - and i can get my head around it (shes one of these people with a plan) - i like to wind her up and say - what if your not married by 30, worlds of fun!
i think its kinda sad that people are always in relationships - thats my problem that i dont want to be with someone because im not into co-dependence, i couldnt stand needing or having someone need to phone or text them all the time, or be with them so many times a week. i want to be one - NOT a couple. and i find it really sad that friends of mine are always looking for someone, always go out on the pull because they cant be alone. theres so much more to life than that other person.
i appear to be in the miniorty in this - then again im bitter and hate relationships (not a good bad to ask me about this subject in honesty!)

A relationship doesn't mean you need to call or text someone all the time. I never text my boyfriend, we rarely speak on the phone, but we do talk on MSN fairly frequently. However, we certainly aren't in contact ALL the time, to be in contact that frequently sounds kind of obsessive and raises the question of wether there is total trust in the relationship. We both have our independence and our own friendship groups. We don't lose anything by being a couple, we only gain things.
Me and my boyfriend talk quite a lot, not because we feel we have to but because we want to. =)
Everyone is to their own how often and much they like to communicate with their partners, but I likes to talk to my boyfriend at least once a day. Otherwise I miss him too much. =(

I live with my partner but we're not co-dependant. Sure i'm happier with him next to me or near me but if he's not I don't collapse in hysterics. lol
I have been in a relationship where the guys were like that though and it was so unhealthy... i couldn't break up with them becasue i was scared of what they would do if I did! So I can see where you're coming from kinda as well!
I think when you're witht the right person, both of you become better people.
"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
Im not saying everyone is co-dependent, or at least i dont mean it maybe in the way that it comes across. its just the way i view it, maybe i just need someone to prove me wrong, buti honestly dont see the point to a relationship - i love my friends and get all i need from them so to me (from my experience maybe, and maybe im wrong in this i dont need to be told that) the difference between me friends and my boyfriend is sex.
perhaps thats blinkered and bitter view but i guess i need someone to prove me wrong... i dont know
