That’s a good question. The heart is fickle. A big part of growing up is learning ways in which our hearts and gut feelings fail us. I can’t tell you why you’re not happy with him, but I’ve always felt that we jump into exclusive arrangements way too quickly in this country and that we should consider staying single longer and coming to a better understanding of what we want out of our lives and other people.
A big part of all this boils down to sexuality. You may want to try to explore different ways of having sex. Or you might want to explore it in other ways if you’re not currently active. Romance novels, erotic literature, and such are great ways to do this.
A lot of times it just boils down to “I want more excitement in my life.” If that’s the case, then you should do a little leg work and work out what that means for you, then talk it out with your boyfriend and see if you can spice things up a bit. Could be something as simple as taking a trip together. A lot of times things just end up being rote, nobody plans it that way, but life gets in the way. Someone has to break up the rut, and you can’t just pin it on your boyfriend.
