Feeling a bit flat in relationship. What can I do?

[itspeanutbutterjellytime]

I'll start out by saying this is me, not my DH. He is lovely. We've been together 4 years, married for 2 and have a little boy. We have a nice home, great life together.... I just feel a bit flat lately. Bored, I guess. I know it's just a phase. It's not been going on long; a few weeks at the most I think. I'm a bit off sex, although I find my DH as attractive as ever and I certainly don't want anyone else. I wouldn't dream of leaving; I love him very much. I'm just... Meh. I hate being like this.

I feel a bit bored and caught up in a perpetual cycle of work, cleaning, shopping, chores, childcare... What can I do to combat this? Please help. My DH is aware that theres something up, and I know I'm a bit of a drudge at the minute. Is this inevitable? Something that happens every once in a while? Or can I speed the return of myself?

You could do with some fun. Just do the essential stuff for a few days, put yourself higher up the pecking order. Housework is always there it can wait. Plan a lovely evening out, maybe with DH or with friends, get dressed up, spoil yourself, get some fresh air, maybe take up something like swimming with DS. Can you afford to join a gym, because exercise and feeling fit usually works a treat if you are a bit off sex. If you cant get to a gym walk with the buggie. Get the endorphins pumping! Think of all the lovely things you have got and don't dwell for one more second on the drudge, just concentrate on how to have fun.

Agree you need to break routine. We both took a day off work, left dc at childminder, and went ice skating something neither of us had done for years.. Cheap and fun, reminded us of why we got together.

iFailedTheTuringTest - love the ice skating day. What an idea, especially if it was what you did when you fell in love. Brilliant suggestion. its peanut... what did you guys do when you first met, where did you hang out??
