being in a long term relationship, do you ever fear that your partner will grow tired of you, or become bored with the relationship? how do you handle those insecurities?

because of this, i've had committment issues. but now that i think about it, long term relationships are meant to become somewhat routine--to an extent. if you're in a long term relationship and you know the other person fairly well, it should be acceptable to become somewhat predictable--afterall, your partner DOES like you for those qualities you possess. it all really comes down to you--you can either let the relationship become boring and mundane, or you can spice things up once in a while i.e suggest playing a sport together, go on a long drive together, cook dinner together, etc etc. relationships are meant for you to get to know the other person better on evey level. it doesnt necessarily have to always be fun and entertaining--you're there to build a special bond with someone, not be their entertainer. if the love is mutual, chances are it will remain that way, despite the routines you two have established together. in any case, a long term relationship is always worth a shot :]

I think the partner will always grow a bit tired and a bit bored, only because it seems that once he/she is so comfterable in it, it turns into more of a companionship. That is always a good sign of a healthy one, cause if you are not always fighting, and causing each other dramma just to keep it intresting, that is good. As long as the whole love of it all dosent dwindle, It will be fine! The more you say I love you the better!, In most cases, the more a person hears those 3 words, the better!

There is always that sometimes overwhelming fear that your partner will get bored and tired with the relationship. The only real thing you can do is keep things interesting, instead of going out drinking take in a movie or maybe visit a museum. Try to keep in mind to do things you both enjoy and enjoy doing things together. In the bedroom, I suggest trying and experimenting with new things, positions, toys and what not, just keep in mind to keep things interesting and you should be alright.

You will both grow that is inevitable. Don't worry about it. Respect the other persons space, make sure you are growing the way your innerself wants too. A certain amount of relationship is luck. Enjoy the days you have. Don't worry. It's like paying interest on a debt you don't owe.

I cant believe you would have t worry about anyone leaving you. I feel that you need to find comfort in yourself and not fret what your significant other will do, You need to enjoy what you have a given situation and make the best of it, This life is full of changes till we realize that and accept it , we will fear Fear itself, Hope my words are of some use

Yeah a lot of people get those insecurities. I don't know how to handle them some people get restless and break it off but other people think of some more spontaneous things to do with their boyfriend/girlfriend to try and change things up.

yeah i feared that, then a few months later i was unexpectedly single
the thing is, you try not to think about it, and try to spice up the relationship, dont stick to routine

i've been with my boyfriend for 13 months!!! thats a long time. and i feel like that ALL the time!! you've just got to remember that he loves YOU! and if he wanted someone else then he would have already went to her!!! it also helps to talk to him about these feelings!! because when he says... " baby you know that your the only girl for me on the whole world"..... you kinda smile and feel wonderful for a while!!! lol!!
