Over the past few months I've been feeling as if there's nothing there anymore. As if we've just settled into a routine.

Question - (31 March 2008) 1 Answers - (Newest, 31 March 2008)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I'm in a relationship that's just hit the 3 year mark, even though I'm only 17. We also live together with my dad and older brother. However over the past few months I've been feeling as if there's nothing there anymore. As if we've just settled into a routine.

I like to go out and have fun with my friends but he likes to stay in and doesn't seem to enjoy going out at all. He also works night shifts on the weekends which makes it difficult for us to do anything as a couple anyway.

However I decided to bring this up with him as he could tell something wasn't right with me and since then he's become very attached not giving me a moments peace. What can I do?

I'm off to university in September and if we're still together he would be coming with me. But I feel that he's holding me back even though he technically isn't.

I'm highly confused by it all.

Gena Bullock agony auntI don't know how old your bf is; however, are there kids involved too?

SOunds odd to live with your dad/bro and he's there too?

Anyway, its not unusual to have a lag time in a relationship; I too have been living with my bf/fiance' for 3 years now and sometimes it gets quiet and I wonder if we're getting bored with each other. But, I know we do love and care for each other, and these are just passing moments/feelings. It's good to communicate them as you've done--it woke him up! Just keep communicating and things will smooth over eventually. Try doing different things with each other once in a while to keep things interesting.

MOvies out, lunch--picnic...lots to do if you think about it.

Best of luck, Gena
