So on holiday with my grown DS.... but DH is a real bore??? I can have a laugh with ds and anyone else on holiday but when me and DH are alone - he is a real bore and worries about who might see him dance or play games etc. but when with ds he is fine (ds is an adult not a child if that makes a difference). It's as if even if I try to be fun with him he will not budge. I don't know if it's just me??? I know he wants me etc but when it comes to "fun stuff" he doesn't want to know - unless really really drunk with me. I just don't get it. It's really annoying me as I can ask my grown ds on the dance floor etc and they will but with my dh... it's a no no no

Not everyone enjoys dancing or playing games—it just is not their idea of fun. Is there something that both you and DH can enjoy together? Try to focus on that? Friend of mine loves to dance but her DH does not so they have an agreement that she goes dancing with other friends, male and female.

Yep it was on holiday I decided to ended my marriage to my utterly boring and lifeless DH. I couldn’t tolerate the idea of years ahead without any colour. Best decision I made.

My ex was a bore like this. He never showed much emotion or was playful or had fun unless it was towards his dog or his dd. Otherwise no matter how exciting and fun things we were doing he would just sit there like nothing was happening. I hated it.

Oh, I forgot to add - don't try and do too much with your exH to pretend that you are still a family. I made this mistake, and it actually unsettled my DD quite a lot, as she then didn't know whether he was coming back or not. Keep it amicable if you can, but keep it clearly separate, is my advice.

He sounds like my sister. She's not a bore, just self conscious. You sound mean.
