Love him, but bored out of my mind!
Hello. Just looking for a little advice. Thanks in advance to whomever reads and responds!
My boyfriend and I have been together for two months, and I feel like we've hit a plateau. Mainly, I've grown weary of how much at-home time we spend. Sunday through Wednesday he has his son, and so by the time I get off work, we have to stay home (his house, but he constantly wants me there, so it's like "home" now) because his son is sleeping. Thursday through Saturday, my boyfriend works a double shift and doesn't get home until around 10:00pm (or later) leaving the local bar as our only place to go (and we do go every Thursday).
I'm bored out of my mind. I have fallen in love with him, but I've become very dissatisfied with our sedentary lives. Granted, the relationship started like this, so this isn't something new. We've only gone out for dinner once -- yes, once! -- in two months, and our only other out-of-the-house date, again, has been the local bar. On Sunday afternoons, he, his toddler son (whom I adore!) and I go to the park (which is a separate issue -- when it's just him and me, he's attentive and talkative, but when the three of us are together, we'll maybe exchange 4 sentences in hours together!).
My guy can be very thoughtful, has taken amazing care of me while I was ill, our sex life is great, etc. etc., but I'm just so bored with our routine. I try to stay active away from him by hanging out with girlfriends and participating in a regular hobby, but there is so much I want to do *with him*, and based on our schedules and his obligation as a father, I'm starting to realize that this is how it is going to be. The thing is...he seems perfectly content, whereas I'm obviously not.
Suggestions? Thoughts? I'm feeling selfish and needy, but honestly, I feel there is so much to life, and I want to experience as much as possible of it with the person I love. It seems terrible to think of breaking up with him, but this isn't the life I want with him.
Thanks.
