Feeling bored in the relationship?

Question

My best friend asked me how can she stop from feeling so bored with her husband. I told her to do a couple of things (like go out on dates together) she responded that if that was to happen she will have to plan where to go, who will babysit (they have two kids, a toddler and a 10 yr old) what time to leave and check the budget and at that point she just doesn't want to go out and at the same time feel like his personal assistant. I don't have much experience in things like that so I didn't know how to respond...So maybe you guys can come up with some better answers. I have even realize that she is starting to flirt now more than before. By the way they have 5 yrs together 3 of them married.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You know it takes two so she is just going to have to open up and tell him how she feels...Sometimes the everyday facts of life gets the best of you it takes work to keep the flames burning and that has to come from both...Sounds like she must be a stay home mom and that's even harder...
Hope they get it all worked out..

Answer 2

You need to help her out! Take her kids for a night, right before her husband gets home, so she has time to shower, shave, dress a little sexy. You don't have to have a date to have fun together. She could also make his favorite dinner at home or they could sit and watch a movie together without spending money or leaving the house.

Answer 3

It depends on what kind of guy the husband is, the first thing I think she should do is sit down and let him know how she feels, I'll bet he doesn't even know, if he does know and isn't willing to do anything about it then there is a problem that goes deeper than just being bored

Answer 4

They don't have to go out to have a date...get a friend to watch the kids or her their grandparents and then they can have a night at the house alone every now and then.

Answer 5

tell them to do more family things like going places together
