A female Australia age 30-35, anonymous writes:

So, I don't know whether anyone can help me, or if what I'm about to say is even a real issue I should be worried about. But here goes... My boyfriend and I have been together for 1 and a half years. We are great together and our relationship so far has been quite good, apart from the usual fights which we have gotten through. But now I am at a stage where I feel as though I've lost enthusiasm in the relationship and feel as though now my boyfriend irritates me a lot and I get angry with him easily. Despite this, of course I still love him, and don't know why I feel like this. Is this a normal stage?

Also, it seems lately that he is always doing things with his friends. Alot more than he used to, even though I've gotten used to him being with his friends alot as hes a naturally social person and I understand that. I'm not the same, but I respect that he wants to be social. It just seems like lately he is always out with them and doesn't talk to me as much or want to do stuff as much. Is it possible this is also a stage?

I guess I'm just a bit confused and would appreciate a bit of advice or other opinions. Thankyou, I appreciate any replies greatly. :)

Hello, what your feeling is normal. You need to refresh your relationship, its become stale and bitter. I'm in the same boat as you at the moment so I know how you feel, both of you need to sit down together and talk these thoughts through because he could be feeling the same. Maybe you going out aswell may help you. I'm a recluse and hate going out but sometimes you just have to say its time for me because otherwise it feels like your always waiting for them and by the time they get home you already feel anger and bitterness towards him. I guessing the sex life has dulled also and is lacking passion! Spice things up a bit. Get some sexy undies and make YOURself feel good, your not doing it for him. Your doing it for yourself. Hope this helps you X peace
