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!

It hurts so much to write that. Lately, every time I talk to my boyfriend — whether it’s through text or in person — I feel this deep irritation, like everything he says or does annoys me. Sometimes, it even feels like disgust, and it’s terrifying. I don’t feel love. I don’t feel excitement. I don’t even feel sadness about not feeling anything… just numb. I look at him and I don’t feel like I used to. I don’t know what happened to me. I used to be so sure I loved him, and now I feel like a completely different person — cold, distant, empty. My brain keeps telling me: “You don’t love him anymore. You never did. You’re only staying out of habit.” My mom told me that if I don’t like him anymore, then I’m hurting both him and myself by staying in this. And hearing that broke me. Because that’s exactly what I fear — that I’m faking everything, and I just don’t want to admit the truth. I feel so lost. And I don’t know how to separate my thoughts from reality anymore. All I know is that I want to feel something again — anything. Because right now, all I feel is guilt, fear, and confusion. i used to know these thoughts are just thoughts and that if i didn’t have them i would be so happy but now, i cant think aboyr that bc the thoughts feel too real.

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.
