In any relationship, being attracted to your partner is extremely important. If you have been in a relationship for only a short time, losing an attraction to someone is likely a bad sign for the future of the relationship. However, if this has been a long-term relationship, there are likely things that you and your partner can both do to improve your attraction to one another. It is very important that you are open and honest with your partner about these issues.

One of the worst feelings that you can have in a relationship is if you feel trapped. If you have been with someone for only a short period of time, there is likely no reason for you to feel trapped and you should be able to end the relationship. However, long-term relationships, including marriage, do come with more commitment and strings attached. If you do feel suffocated and trapped by your partner, you should speak to them about this. In some situations, being open and having a good line of communication will be enough to make you feel better.
