Feel dp and I should do more..

[boomoohoo]

Hi there

This has Prob been done to death, but I'm just wondering how many of you share hobbies with your dps? Or how often do u spend quality time together?

Dp and have recently moved in together to a new town. Previously we had lived in a city where we both had fairly good social lives (that were separate) but now it feels like neither of us go out, (to be fair we're both very prone to being homebodies) and we are in the habit of eating dinner, collapsing infront of tv, and falling asleep somewhere around 9! Feels pathetic, I am 30, he is 36. I feel as though we should be living more. I should add that my dd from a previous relationship lives with us, who is 4.

How do you keep the bond and connection going in your relationships?

Do you have anyone who can babysit for you? My dp and I have fallen into this trap ( my ds from a previous relationship lives with us. 2.6) we have found that just going out for a meal together once in a while really helps us connect again. Cinema, out for a drink anything. As much as I love ds and adore being with him, it really helps us to have some adult time.

Thanks absent, yes we do, in fact she goes to her dads one night a week! No excuse really. On these nights We seem to see our own friends (usually me, while he has a night in on his own which he loves)

We seem to be not making an effort / taking each other for granted that we're just always gonna be there.

I am also slightly resentful that I will be the one to flag this up a d try and change it, why do women seem to always be the ones do this??!

we joined an am dram group together

we need a regular babysitter to make it work - thanks pil - but it is something we can do together that is just for us

Good idea super, although quite daunting! I may look into salsa..

Salsa would be great! I go to one, you can have a glass of wine while you do it and have a good laugh. Nice way to get you feeling a bit together.
