Relationship going stale.

[Namechangeabc]

My husband is a good man - hardworking, loyal, kind, generous. We have no major problems. Family life with the DCs is good. But as the DCs get more independent (youngest now in teens) and we have more time together, we don't seem to work well as a couple anymore.

We seem to have forgotten how to have fun and enjoy ourselves together.
Have others been through this? Suggestions?

We've had our moments. Ds is only 4 but dh and I have been together for yrs!

We find it helps to try and get involved in what the other one wants to do for a bit and try to be enthusiastic. It's good to see dh excited and happy in something, it helps remind me of the person I was attracted to.

I'll be watching with interest.

DH is a good man but he does have his faults. I have asked what mine are but he doesn't tell me. I am pretty bored but I don't necessarily want to end my marriage but if this is it for the next 40 years then I am going to end up bald through ripping my hair out. We have been married nearly 9 years now.
