I’m Bored In My Relationship

I'm Bored In My Relationship

Sadly, you are equally at fault for this boredom in your relationship.

You left it to him to keep the relationship fun and exciting.

Now that he is comfortable in his relationship with you, he isn’t putting out anywhere near the same amount of effort to show you a good time as he did in the early months of the relationship.

This is commonplace in relationships.

A guy becomes complacent once he is in an exclusive relationship with a girl and she is in love with him.

At this stage, he is no longer compelled to continue coming up with interesting ideas for dates or conversations.

He becomes monotonous in how he treats the relationship.

Where he was once taking you out on exciting dates every weekend, he has you hang out at his place to watch movies, tv, or play video games.

Where he was once coming up with new and interesting topics to talk about, he is bringing up the same topics and making the same points.

Every topic is predictable and you know what he is about to say about it.

Complacency and the laziness that ensues isn’t unusual in relationships.

It’s not that a guy plans to become like this from the outset.

Since guys are usually the ones expected to put in the lion’s share in courting a woman and winning her over in the early stages of a budding relationship, it’s almost a given that he relaxes once his hard work pays off in her becoming his girlfriend.

That drive to keep impressing you is dramatically reduced once he wins you over.

As his girlfriend, he believes that you accept him as he is.

The impetus to keep impressing you by taking you out on dates and generating exhilarating conversations with you isn’t anywhere near as strong.

This said, you do bear a degree of responsibility for the boredom you are enduring in your relationship.

Although it is traditionally a guy’s responsibility to keep a budding romantic relationship interesting and fun in the early stages, that changes once a relationship is established.

There becomes an equal responsibility in keeping a relationship interesting and fun once an exclusive relationship is established.

You ignored this responsibility.

For this boredom to end, it requires that you lead by example.

Make suggestions on what activities to do over the weekends or when you are free with him.

Actively arrange said activities, instead of waiting on him to do it.

Whenever you are in a conversation with him, bring up interesting topics to talk about that neither one of you have talked about before.

Being that you are now turning him down if he were to suggest hanging out at home for yet another weekend, you are compelling him to get out of his slumber.

All of a sudden, there is a real danger he loses you to someone else, given that you are intent on going out to do fun and exciting activities without him if need be.

This healthy fear forces him to realize that he mustn’t take his relationship with you for granted, and consequently reinvigorates him.

He is compelled to follow your lead.

In due course, he is bringing up new topics of conversation, and taking you out on dates like he once did, so as to keep you emotionally invested in the relationship and avoid losing you to someone else.
