Have a lovely partner been together along time we have two children.
I suffered from pnd and have finally come of the ad got a job and am feeling better infact if anything want to do more hours.
My partner and I hardly see each other he works long hours we dont have a sexual relationship anymore and I wander why we are still together I do love him but our relationship is boring and stale should we call it a day becuase with out sex whats the point.

Have you talked to your partner about how you feel? Any relationship is liable to get into a rut if you don't overhaul it sometimes. It's certainly not fair if he is, as you say, lovely, to just spring this on him if he hasn't realised anything is wrong. And there are a LOT of things a couple can do to shake the dust off a stale relationship. If you like each other and have children together it has to be worth a try.

You say that he is lovely and that you love him and you have two children together. You can't call it a day just because you feel it is a bit dull and boring. You owe it to your kids (and yourselves) to try your hardest to perk it up a bit and not shatter your children's home lives on a whim. We all get bored, it's life. It will be no different with a new partner, after the initial lust and excitment has faded, which it will. Please try and work at it.

Have you had long term relationships in the past? Most relationships get 'boring' after a while but that would happen no matter who you were with.

If the boredom is the only problem, then you have plenty of good stuff to work with.

Personally I love the boring stage, but we're all different!

If you love someone then it is worth fighting for especially if he still loves you.

It takes a bit of effort on both sides and some talking too.

Everyone goes through stale patches.
