I have been dating my SO for 2 years. We have gotten comfortable with each other, but too comfortable. We love each other, but things are beginning to stall out. He says that I don't love him like I used to. I feel like he wants me to act as the dutiful wife, but I'm not married to him.

We have not had a date in months and months. Our time together consists of me making dinner and watching t.v.

So why not plan a night out -- dinner, movies, etc.?

I've brought up the date thing and we'll talk about making plans. He really doesn't like getting out and doing anything though.

Maybe this is who he is -- a homebody who likes to hang out and watch TV.

Did he ever like doing things? How much dating did you do before? What does he say when you talk to him about it? Does he know you're unhappy the way things are?
