Getting Bored

Dear Amy,
Not sure where to start. Been in relationship for 6yrs. Since 2yrs.things are boring, no kind of joy. On real note been like that for day one. I thought it was going to change. I’m fed up.  Please help me? Stay or move on?

Dear Bored,

      Six years is a long time and its’ not unusual for things to get a bit comfortable and routine. On the other hand, if its been this way all along, then maybe it’s worth considering why it’s bothering you now but didn’t then. Has something happened? Have you done anything to try to spice things up? If you want to stay in the relationship, then try to think of new and interesting things to do together. Find a new hobby or take a class together.
     The decision to stay or move is one that only you can make (after all, you get to live with the consequences of your decision).  I suggest that you make it after having an honest talk with yourself about what it is you want and what you’re willing to do to get it.

Amy
