Needs

Anyone who has been in a long-term relationship may reach this stage where things feel a little dull— but the good news is you’re not the only one. I have felt this way too: when the routine overshadows romance and the comfort once enjoyed starts to seem merely predictable. It doesn’t mean that relationship is finished or the love has gone. It just means you are human living life growing alongside another person who is themselves growing and changing too.

Boredom? In long-term relationships? That’s something lots of couples go through, yet you’ll hardly ever hear people talking about it. Admitting that things feel a bit dull can bring on all sorts of feelings– like guilt, for example. As if by saying so you were letting down your other half or not really loving them anymore.

But here’s the thing: noticing these moments is actually really brave– and good for you! Because it shows (a) how much you care about your relationship and (b) that you want things to be different. So in this article, based on things I have noticed and experienced plus chats with others who have been there too, I will share some honest tips alongside practical ideas for rekindling those flames!
