    hi, going unregd for this.
    i have been with my boyfriend a year and a half, and i love him, but lately i feel a little bored with him. i find myself wanting to spend more time with my friends!
    i get on so well with him most times, but other times he irritates me.
    ive been accepted into his family which makes it so muchmore confusing.
    has anyone else been through something like this???is it just a phase that will pass??
    Thanks in advance

    it sounds like your bored with him. perhaps the relationship has just run its course and your ready to move on.

    its a relationship. not The Relationship to End All Relationships. married people still have other friends and family. People that spend every moment together: its called Cabin Fever. and yes, everyone wants to kill the other person eventually. thats why we have the world outside our house.

    jesus, thats harsh advice.

    OP, as Overheal said, everyone needs a life outside their relationship. For the first while in a relationship, people are more than content to spend all their time together but as the relationship DEVELOPS (not goes stale) you will realise that you're comfortable enough with this person in your life to not need to be with them all the time. Now if he's not in this stage, he may be confused that you don't want to spend as much time together so tell him that while you love him, you want to spread your wings a bit. you're not breaking up, you're just being a bit more independant. if he's assured, then this will be a very simple step for you :D

    Best of Luck

    To avoid staleness in the relationship...

    1. Spend less time together
    2. Spend more quality time together

    ...the end.

    i dont think your bored of HIM, you might just be bored of the routine in your relationship, shake things up (in the good way) :) be more impulsive :)

    After a year and a half he may feel the same way. Hopefully youre both in a secure state where you can go play with the ladies and he can go watch football with the lads down at the local. Its just a natural transition from that gut-wrenching cuddly smoochie face phase that everyone around you hates being subjected to :) I know 2 friends of mine that are still in that phase but its evident they're both missing being around their own social groups every now and then - its natural to get on each others nerves every now and then but its not love-breaking.

    Exactly as T-Ha says: Less quantity time, more quality time.

    Hot Tip: Assure him with a shag before you go out for drinks with your bird-crew :p No man would be upset after that
