Boring marriage?

posted 30th Sep
What did you do when your marriage got boring?

DH and I have been married 3.5 years. Our marriage has gotten so boring it's ridiculous. I mean, everything from the conversations, sex, daily life, activities, etc. are boring. He doesn't ever want to do anything except lay around and sleep. It's 11am and he's still sleeping despite the fact that I've tried to wake him up so we can take DD to the pumpkin patch (he did this yesterday too, was sleeping until about noon). It's our marriage, and him that I find boring.

I recently went to visit family for a month, he acted like he missed me so much, and I figured things would be fresh and fun when I came home, and they're not. Same old smurf.

Advice? Have you gone through this?

Is there something wrong with him that he is sleeping so much? Sounds like its time to talk about your problems and try to work on them together.
DH and I have been married over 4years and have yet to get bored with each other but we don't really spend enough time together to get bored of one another haha.

No, he's honestly just lazy. He's always been lazy but it's gotten worse. Maybe I'm noticing it more now because we're expecting another baby in 2.5 months and I'm worried about needing his help more.

Can you do a date night? Maybe go to a hotel and make sexy time?

Liven up your sex life and it will help liven up everything else.

Love is comfortable and boring, lust is passionate and fun... it's easy to love someone for years, it's not easy to lust after them for years...

Gotta keep relighting that flame constantly. And don't let him nap, instead of napping, screw!

DH and I went through this a few months ago, he would get home from work and just plop his ass on the couch zone out and watch TV. I sat down and talked to him about it so we started trying to do things like we did back when we were dating. It's kind of hard when you have kids but it's possible. It really helped when we started opening up to eachother. We are 100 times better n ow. Good luck.

We recently moved (well 7 months ago), across country so I don't have anyone I trust to keep DD overnight, especially with her health problems.

  He's the guy that would screw, and still nap right after.

Thanks for the advice!

I'm going to try to talk to him. He's been super defensive about everything lately so hopefully he'll actually listen and take it in. Thanks!

Date night doesn't have to be out on the town... Put DD down for the night and have a date in your house... it could actually be even more fun that way!

We actually used to do this once a week. I'm going to try to bring it back. Thanks!

We are boring people lol. I am not bored with my husband, I enjoy the time I spend with him even if it is doing nothing. We have been together 10 years and we are both content. We do pretty much everything together, and would rather spend our time together doing "boring" things than be apart. We do have hobbies and projects we work on together.

I guess DH and I are naturally boring. We go to bed together and spend most evenings together. Sometimes we don't say anything just cuddle on the couch. We enjoy our simple boring life.

I have been having a similar problem. DH has been working a lot lately, getting overtime, because he will be having surgery in January that will have him stuck home for 4 months. He isn't allowed to walk at all for that time and I know I'll go crazy with him home  I already cater to him like a freaking butler.
Everytime we try to sit down and jsut visit we have absolutely nothing to talk about. I try to tell him about stuff the kids did or whatever but he always seems bored. Half the time we end up in a fight : (
We still do at home date nights with a rented movie. We went out to a movie for my birthday and it was really nice.
I get bored all the time but it's probably because he doens't really help with the kdis or around the house much. Lately he's been paying more attention to the kids which helps a ton

Most of our friends think it's weird that we go to bed together every night. If he is working late, I wait for him. If I am watching a show or not ready to go he waits until I am. It's been that way since we moved in together.
