Is my relationship dying, or can it be saved?

Do singles have questions about dating and relationships? They sure do! If you have a question about a relationship quandary, just go to the i was wondering if you could provide some advice about my long term relationship. I've been with my bf for about 7 years (am 26 y.o.) and have been feeling bored for the past year. We used to see each other every day, but it's gotten to the point where i feel i know everything there is to know about him and i would rather spend time on my own or with friends, and see him maybe once a week. Does this mean the relationship is dwindling down and i should call it quits before draggin it on for longer? how do i really know what this means? thx, Aggie

Well, Aggie, what you described doesn't sound good for your relationship. While I've never described the ending of a relationship as "dwindling down," I can see that the two of you no longer seem to be as interested in each other, or interested in pursuing the same activities and goals, as you might have years ago. The fact that you feel like you are "draggin' it on" tells me that you really are not excited to be with your boyfriend, and that doesn't bode well for your future. But that doesn't mean that it has to end.

I suggest that you tell your boyfriend what you've told me -- basically, that you don't feel like you want to spend as much time with him as you used to. He'll tell you whether or not he shares your feelings. Then, the two of you can decide how you want to proceed. If he's not ready to end things and wants to make it work, then talk about what each of you can do differently to do that. "Calling it quits" should be a mutual decision. After all, you have a lot of history and I don't think you should throw it all away too quickly. Good luck!
