You're boring....

Recently, one unhappy reader has commented his or her opinion that this blog has become boring....and that's the same thing that can happen in a relationship.

Everything is good (or bad — but then it wouldn't be boring), but that's all it is. There's a routine that rears its ugly head once a relationship has time to settle, and for some all routine all the time may be great, while for others — it may make the relationship seem a lot more lackluster than fulfilling.

I know one couple that does pretty much the same thing every weekend....the classic dinner and a movie on Friday, errands during the day on Saturday and then a re-run of Friday night on Saturday night. Very familiar, very routine....and a tad on the boring side.

Don't get me wrong — it's really good for a relationship to evolve into that phase because it does mean there is a progression of sorts, but it can be bad to get stuck in a rut. For me, not an issue thanks to long distance — it does a good job of guaranteeing no routine because there is so much to cram into a couple of days. But it can be a very real problem in relationships if one, or both parties gets bored.

What do you do in that situation and how do you mix things up??

this is a great blog with real women in our area with real life situations. Girls keep up the good work. I Love Your Blog. I read it everyday, and do not find it boring one bit. I suggest if you find this blog not your cup of tea, then don't read it. I don't want to read a blog with an 'experienced writer'. There are enough of those out there already. And who said these girls arn't 'experienced'. I find their writtings to be fun and right on point. So if you want some 'writer that is older....' then log onto Dr. Ruth.

That's harsh. Maybe you could do a study on the girl at 1472 Chestnut.

Here's another thought:

I invite any naysayer (or anyone who is interested) to write a guest blog for Macon Love. It can be about any topic you wish, as long as we haven't covered it before. All blogs will be edited for grammar and explicit content. To submit an entry, or ask more questions, e-mail roxyandrose@yahoo.com. Perhaps some of you older, wiser, more experienced daters would like to contribute.
