What makes you bored of your relationship?

Asked by AnonymousWoman (6531points) March 11th, 2013

Note that I’m not saying I’m bored of mine right now. I’m just curious what makes people bored of their relationships and what can be done about it when that happens.

When the other part of the relationship doesn’t put any effort into it. It’s a two way street.

I never even think about boredom in relationships.

Bored with a relationship not of.

Taking the other person for granted.

Not putting any effort into building and maintaining the relationship, keeping the spark alive, having shared experiences.

When the other person “likes” the routine, and has no interest in, and is not open to, doing something else, whether it is different food, different movies, different sex.

”...bored with whatever…

Too predictable and routinized behaviors can lead to emotional fatigue. Both parties need to take a little time and energy to liven things up, even in the smallest way.

I become bored with people that are not of an intellectually curious nature.
I like sharing new information and stimulating discussions about everything under the sun and small talk about boring daily events makes me want to scream. haha
I look for mind mates in my relationships and those with a good sense of humor.

Bored…hmm if the partner has too much self-control and doesn’t let loose. Can be frustrating… Had that, and felt like I was missing out on a REAL relationship.

If I’m bored, either he or I are being boring. Or both of us are guilty.
Or perhaps it means it is time to end it.

I don’t really understand boredom. Everything is interesting.
