It's okay to feel bored in your relationship. I know it's hard but you don't have to break up with her over that. If you stick through it and be open and honest with each other you might come out with an even stronger relationship. Try to come up with new activities that you guys can do together to add some new experiences. What I've learned is that it's not so much what you have in common with a person that makes a lasting relationship, it's the experiences you share together.

I fully agree with you. The thing is that we are in a long distance relationship. Chatting with her was so exciting once and now it seems like a task. Same with the video calls. I really don't wanna feel like this😔

@raj123 That's normal especially for long distance relationships. They're really difficult to maintain because you can't use body language to comfort or communicate with one another so you have to constantly be simulating each other's minds with conversation etc, which is really hard to do all the time. It's not easy but what your feeling is honestly pretty normal. Everyone goes through those stages at some point.

@Kuno I have a question how did you manage it the long distance for years

@Overcomer The truth is I didn't. I never even made it to 6 months in all my previous long distance relationships. I only found a lasting relationship when I moved to the same state as my current partner and it's now been a year and 2 months. It really is so much more natural and easier to maintain when you can see them in person because I probably would have said something stupid and messed it all up by now if it was still long distance. Granted I know that's not possible for everyone which makes it even harder. It's rough man

@Overcomer Thank you! Yeah there's no point giving up on something until you try. You never know. Long distance relationships are just harder and more of a challenge, that doesn't mean they're impossible. Honestly the confidence to feel that it will work out is exactly what you need to make it happen. If you're always doubting yourself, your partner or your relationship that doubt will sooner or later infect your partner and then they'll start questioning it because you're questioning it. So just do your best and keep at it! I wish you all the best and i hope you guys live a happy life together!

Lately, I’ve been feeling like something has changed in me — like I have changed, and like my feelings for my boyfriend have faded or shifted. It’s one of the worst sensations I’ve ever felt. I keep thinking things like “I don’t love him like before” or “I’ve changed too much to feel anything now.” Sometimes when he calls me or makes a joke, I get irritated for no reason. I feel like I’m being mean, cold, disconnected — and then guilt crashes down on me. I remember how I used to feel: warm, close, expressive. And now… I just don’t feel the same. That makes me think: “Maybe I’ve fallen out of love.” But I’m also constantly anxious. I overthink every moment. I can’t relax into anything without analyzing if what I feel is “right.” It makes me wonder — maybe I haven’t actually changed. Maybe I’m just overwhelmed and tired from months of these thoughts and fears. I don’t know how to feel right now. I just want to believe that this disconnection isn’t proof that love is gone, but a sign that I’m scared and burnt out.

Everyday I wake up and start searching for reason to breakup with my partner. I feel utterly confused by relationships and dating. Not to mention, I’m autistic and this has always been a huge struggle for me. In fact, it led me to both diagnoses of ASD and OCD. I can see there are some things I am not happy with in my current relationship and I understand that, but when does it become too much? I started having limerence over a random person because my brain just wants an out so fast. I told myself that I wouldn’t until I get proper help (medication, constant erp therapy etc). Every time I think about breaking up I start sobbing and my body vehemently rejects it. Its really confusing and disorienting for me and cant trust a damn thought in me. I’m scared that I’m just taking him along for the ride and potentially will severely fuck him up emotionally because of this. I guess thats where I can feel the OCD. My fear of being a bad person and the people around me being bad people. I dont know if I need advice because I think this may be me searching for a compulsion to do. But I just want to get this out of my system. I have severe Disney-like unrealistic expectations sometimes. I had to maladaptive daydream all the time growing up to get out of my traumatic upbringing and brain (tbh). I still do. I am aware of that and try to put myself into check. I just cant stop comparing my friends own beautiful relationships to my own. Most of them are in the “engagement” stage of their relationships. Even though it’s ridiculous, all of them have worked on it for many years at this point.
