5 Things To Do When You Are Tired Of Your Relationship

All relationships go through ups and downs, and sometimes the downs are ruts. There are times when you may feel tired of your relationship. It may not feel as exciting and romantic as it once was. Usually, that is normal and will pass when a stressful time calms down, but not always.

If you are feeling tired of your relationship, there could be underlying reasons for it. There may be something going on that you and your partner can work on, but maybe this is just the beginning of the end.

There are some questions you can answer to figure out what you should do when you’re feeling tired of your relationship.

# Talk about it

First, talk to your partner about it. If you want to work on things, let them know how you’re feeling.

Tell them you miss how excited you used to get to see each other and want to bring that back. See if they feel the same or if they’re open to working on it. Do you need to communicate more? Do you need to be more spontaneous or adventurous?

# Flirt

Flirting and showing your affection in small ways can make a big difference when you’re feeling tired of your relationship. Flirt throughout the day to build up excitement before you see each other in the evening. Leave each other little love notes around the house or in the car.

# Try new things

Trying new things together will remind you of what you may be missing. You may be working separately on your relationship which makes you both tired of it. Instead, work together.

Go to an escape room and work together to solve the puzzle. Take up a new language or try your hands at French cuisine. Take a road trip or exercise class together. Do something you’re both new to. It will remind you of what you love most about each other.

# Take some time

Sometimes a break is all you need to find the excitement again. Too much time together can feel like you’re drowning or bored with each other’s company. I am not saying you should break up, but take some time apart.

Go away for a trip with your friends. Take up a new hobby on your own. Couples don’t have to spend all of their time together. You can both have nights apart with your family or friends.

Spending less time together can actually help you make the most of your time together. This way you aren’t just sitting around on your phones, but have things to share.

# Start fresh

If you are tired of your relationship and talked about it and made changes with your partner, but still feel like your relationship exhausts you more than anything else, it might just be time to end things.

You don’t have to be fighting or angry or resentful to break up. You might get along and just not feel what you need to be happy in the relationship. That is totally okay.
