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 thisš

@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!

So me and my boyfriend have been dating for a few months but seriously talking for around 8. I have never met anyone so perfect and amazing. I love him so much. Into our talking stage i kissed my ex situation-ship and ever since have been dealing with the consequences. He forgave me and gave me another chance and i have shown him how much i care every day since. He is over it now since it was only in our talking stage. I have had thoughts with my ex name, thoughts i hate my boyfriend, always constantly thinking if im bored, if i love him. It switches day by day and impacts my life constantly. I donāt feel like myself at all. Some days i canāt do it. I just want to be happy and secure with him. my thought from the past few days is that i want to be single and hook up with other people. I donāt actually want to hook up with others but i feel so terrible and guilty. Does anyone else deal with this? Sometimes i canāt tell the difference between my real thoughts and the fake ones. I have been debating breaking up with my boyfriend because i feel like itās best but i would be so sad. He is perfect and i see myself marrying him.

So Iāve been with my boyfriend for about a month and 27 days and I love him but sometimes I just get the ick when I shouldnāt. I feel that heās showing me too much affection and repeating things and I donāt wanna be rude and say Iām getting bored. Nor do I want to break up with him. He drove 7 hours just to see me and spent money on me the whole time we were hanging out. And it was fun. The last relationship he ever had was when he was in kindergarten.. so Iām assuming itās just a new to relationships kind of thing so he accidentally love bombs me but he doesnāt make me feel bad. Heās just so annoying sometimes and I was wondering what I should do. I was considering just being blunt with him whenever I got the ick again. I just feel really bad and like Iām the problem. Thoughts?

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