Expert Answer

Take some time to really think things through. How often do you assert your needs in the relationship? How clearly do you know what you need and want in life? How clear are you about when to draw the line? If you're seriously thinking about ending things, start listing out the things you want and even demand from your relationship.

If your partner seems less interested in spending time with you, or if they don’t seem to have anything to talk about when they're together, it’s possible they’re getting bored with the relationship. However, they could also be preoccupied, stressed, or depressed. If you’re worried, sit down and have a conversation with them. Tell them about your concerns in a gentle, respectful way, and ask them how they’re feeling.

Staff Answer

If he seems less interested in having sex, or if he seems distracted or bored while you’re in bed, it’s possible your man is feeling unsatisfied with your sex life. The best way to find out how he’s feeling is to sit down and have a conversation about it. Say something like, “How are you feeling about our sex life?” or “Is there anything we could do to make things more exciting for you?”

It’s natural for people to drift apart sometimes as their personalities grow and change. However, if you find that you constantly get bored in your relationships, something more serious might be going on. For instance, this can sometimes happen if you have an insecure attachment style, meaning that you have difficulty forming healthy emotional bonds with others. If you’re concerned about this, consider talking to a therapist. They can help you identify the causes of your boredom and find solutions.
