But I agree with Sweet-Thing on this. It's too early to throw in the towel. You have invested 10 years to this relationship and it's starting to get stale. Relationships can get that way after 1 year. You need to talk to your boyfriend and see why he is being distant and always tired. Is it because he is working a lot? or is he just hanging out with his friends too much?

But one thing I will suggest for you is to starting dating again.. Not other people.. but start dating your boyfriend again. Have him pick you up and take you movies and dinner and have him drop you off at the doorstep again. Go out and do fun, exciting things.. Relationship start getting stale because it becomes a norm and you find yourself going out less and less. but You two need to sit down and talk.. Good luck.

Sweet-thing agony auntYou were very young when you got involved in this relationship. You've grown since then, and grown up in many ways. It's common for couples to fall into the trap of letting their relationship become too routine and women tend to be the first to get bored in their relationships when their needs aren't being met -- meaning, they don't feel valued or attractive to their mates anymore. This will make any young woman vulnerable to the attention of another man. Especially a good looking one. But -- before you throw in the towel, you need to do some damage control on your current relationship. Talk to your b/f about how you're feeling. It may be time to schedule some time alone as a couple for a week-end getaway, or maybe a once-a-week night out together so you can rekindle your passion. If you take steps now, you may be able to re-discover yourselves as a couple and keep your relationship from de-railing. I wish you the best.
