I get the sense that some people feel trapped in their relationship. Like they're miserable and want to get out but don't know how to. Have you ever felt this past or present?

The moment I felt that way I walked out and never looked back and kept moving forward. I see no reason to waste time, energy and emotions on something that has proven to cause turmoil or drama in my life.
I felt that way, when I was married. I didn't want to be there, but I felt I had to stay, because you don't leave for a reason like that. But knowing what I know now, I should have left. Tried to make it work, but my heart wasn't in it, and she knew it. Since then I have told myself to never put myself in that position again.

Wow, yeah, I think the bolded is a common feeling. The guilt...

Pretty much. it is easy for me to tell someone I don't want to be around them when they treat me bad, but when someone is nice, it is much harder. You tell yourself well I should accept this, it is better than most, but if you don't want to be there, you are slowly killing the relationship.

I somewhat felt that way. I would picture in my mind life without that burden, more than once. Somehow I felt a moral obligation to stay... Why? I have no idea.
most of the people i know who feel trapped are still there because of the guilt. they feel that the other person is owed more then just straight up leaving them. technically the person is a great person but the spark is just gone.
...it usually takes them until the relationship is choked to death or something else enters to finally push them out before they realize they should have ended it the moment they "knew" it was gone.

Same here. I did think about what could be had I not walked, but when I look back on the strange dialogue and face-to-face happenings I shudder and never regret it for a second.
