I've been married 5 years now and I am bored? Is this normal?

Answer 1

Yes, it's normal. Unfortunately having to deal with the same person over and over again for over 1800 days in a row does get boring. That's why affairs were invented. Only a very few love their relationship after 3 years.

Answer 2

Yes it's normal. I've been married for ten years and we get bored as well. Unfortunately it's called "being comfortable". It's okay though, it doesn't mean you love your spouse any less. You just need to try new things. Date again. There are so many ways to get the relationship out of it's boredom phase.
Whoever "asoliderswife" is, what the hell perfect planet did you fall off of? Step into reality, everyone has down periods.
Anyway, best of luck.

Answer 3

Very normal. I believe this happens when you live your days the same way. Work home a quick lay and bed. Am I right? I can only suggest you try something different. My husband of 7 months does something different with me monthly. last month we went to Philly and new york(i've never been) this month we are going to go camping for the first time being together. Next month we hit disney land(also never been). When we try to keep it simple we just go to blockbuster(or any movie store) we pick out a movie each and sit there on saturday night watching them together. in the morning we read a section of the paper and discuss our own views over breakfast. It really keeps things interesting. Once a week I ask him one question... "tell me one thing very few people know about you" each week he gives me a little information I wouldnt already know. Rearange furnature, volunteer at a dog pound or homeless shelter together once a month. There are manny things you can do to make things better besides just spicing up sex. luck to you, Kristen

Answer 4

No, whoever said this is normal doesn't know what marriage is all about. We have been married 13 years this August. We have four children. Our marriage is more exciting today than it was 13 years ago. Your marriage is what you make it. I have a hot sexy husband that turns me on til no end. He's a real family guy and spend alot of quality time with us. Being with him is like the first time everytime. He's a real tiger. GRRRRRRRRRRRR. I kid you not. Our eldest daughter always yelling for us to "Take it to your bedroom". Why is it hard for you kids to see affaction between there mom and dad when they are teenagers? Our life is on EVER READY every moment of the day. Bored? Never. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Answer 6

Yes. Perfectly normal. It's called the 7 year itch. Don't divorce. Communicate with your spouse and/or get counseling. Coincidentally, this happens regardless of how many times you've been married. Statistically, those that remarry and redivorce, do so again and again around the same time. Think about it.

Answer 7

Yes, it's normal to some degree. But don't harbor on what used to be new and exciting. Look for what you have to look forward to in the coming years, and that's continued companionship and marital bliss. You might want to get a hobby, a new one or reinvent your old ones to spice things up for yourself on your end. Are you perhaps having thoughts about someone else or a different lifestyle?

Answer 8

I am not married, but I expect it to be normal. I would expect people to start getting bored after 3-4 yreas of a relationship.

I know get bored sooner

Answer 9

Yes, it's normal to some degree. But don't harbor on what used to be new and exciting. Look for what you have to look forward to in the coming years, and that's continued companionship and marital bliss. You and your significant other need to be working together to bring freshness. Its never gonna be all new and exciting like it was at first, but it can still be fun and good!

Answer 10

bored with what? the marriage routine or the day to day clean the house & make the beds routine? if you bored being married , make a list of where you'd like to go on a date, make the arrangements and then tell hubby, this is where we are going, go get ready & then go, if he objects because its something he doesnt wanna do tell him next time you think of a place to go and i'll go with you! Good Luck!!!!
