Hi, I'm having a problem with my relationship and am hoping you may have a bit of advice for me.

I got married when I was 21 to my first proper girlfriend. I had girlfriends before but they were mainly for sex, but this was the real thing.

We were dating for about 3 months before we got engaged, 6 months later we bought a house together and another 5 months later we got married.

Everything was wonderfu then, but 5 years later I am feeling that we have got nothing in common and am constantly feeling bored.

Some of the problems are:

I don't get enough sex, and when Ii do it is always me that initiates it.

She seems to have aged a lot more than me, has no excitment left in her.

We don't seem to have a lot in common anymore, but we used to have.

We both love pubbing and clubbing but when we go out together we don't have fun.

The thing is, we have split up twice before and each time we have got back together she has promised that things will change, but they never do and we have a 3 year old son and I don't know what to do.

Any ideas?

thanks.

How are you as a father? Maybe the excitement has left her because she spends all her time taking care of your 3yr old. I'm experiencing the opposite. I have been married for 5 years and my husband

Hi, I feel the same way as you do, only with my boyfriend. We have been together for five years and are planning on getting married this month, but it feels at times like there is no chemistry anymore. He is a lot older than I am, but he doesn't even touch me anymore rarely, and when he does, it feels like an obligation to him.

I love him so much and I can't just say good-bye, because I love him. I lie awake at night crying and don't know what to do. I wish I could just move on, but I can't, and I also wish that he would get 'interested' in me again, the way it used to be.

I understand what you're going through! Good Luck to you.
