My boyfriend and I have been together a little over two years. We used to go out every weekend and do everything together. Since our two year anniversary, in January, we've both become busy, me with school and him with a job that can take him out of town for a week at a time. When he is in town, all he wants to do is lay in bed and watch TV or sleep. If I ever want to go out on weekends he's not in the mood. I'm beginning to feel like there's nothing to our relationship outside of the bedroom. I think this is something we do need to discuss, but I don't want to make it like a confrontation so that he gets defensive. What would be the best way to approach this situation? I'm starting to get restless.

Hi Emily and welcome to the board,


You might consider going out anyway. Invite him along, if he says no or I'm not in the mood, say, 'would you might if I went?'

Emily,


Since this is bothering you, I agree that you need to talk to him about this. Communication is very important in relationships. He probably doesn't realize that this is bothering you.
