Is my same day to day schedule affecting relationship??
Question Posted Sunday July 5 2009, 2:46 pm
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year and a half. Lately, I have been extremely irritable and dont want to talk to him or see him. Last year at school all I did was study (didnt go out, hang out with friends, he and I just studied so I could make it into medical school). So far this summer all I have done is work. I get one afternoon off a week, otherwise I work from 10am-midnight everyday... I have recently started feeling depressed and am not sure if it is birth control or if it is because im tired of everything being the same day after day. I am not sure whether or not my relationship is being affected because im bored of everything happening day to day or if I no longer have feelings for him. I am terrified to hurt him because he has his heart set on marrying me and would do anything AND everything for me. I just feel like I should feel the same way but I dont....Has anybody else experienced any feelings like this before? Does anybody have any advice on what I should do about this situation? Im not sure if I am just bored with him because I am bored with my everyday life or if I no longer have feelings...I just need someones advice :( please.

To be honest, you have to look at the bigger picture. If you are doubting your feelings for him, then maybe, it is that you don't feel the same way. But you know what they say, "you don't know what you have until you loose it"... I suggest a break from him, and possibly work as well if you can afford a small one. It will help you to realise what is it that you want... or don't want - and your head will be clearer. During this break I also suggest a GOOD NIGHT OUT! A change of scenery now and then is always good.
Back again to the bigger picture... if you are not one hundred percent sure about your feelings for your partner, it will affect you later on in life. The truth always comes out, and you are lying to yourself.... what comes first in your life is you and your happiness (until of course you have children) if you are not happy it affects other people. Plus, I know you don't want to hurt him, he seems like a nice guy, but maybe he would also benefit from your alternative decision if you realised you no longer have feelings for him, he can go and find someone who actually does - and so can you find someone who cares for you and you care for them....
