Lainie Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 When in a long term relationship, is it normal for partners to be tempted? Or not? Is it natural to get bored after a while of being together? Or should this never happen when you are in love?
Adunaphel Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 I think that getting bored can happen. It is not necessarily a permanent thing....it can be only a 'phase'. Yet, when someone feels bored in his relationship he(or she!) can either try to improve things with his partner ...by putting more effort in the relationship or communicating his needs to the partner, OR use the "i'm getting bored" excuse to "look around". Feeling bored can happen, it's how you react to it that matters.
aFighter Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 feeling bored sometimes is natural, some people use it as an excuse to "take a break"
reservoirdog1 Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 Temptation is natural. Temptation doesn't make you a bad person, and it's nothign to feel guilty about. It's what you DO in response to the temptation -- that's what determines what kind of person you are.
morrigan Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 I agree that temptation and boredom are things that occur at times. Haven't you ever been bored by a family member? It doesn't mean that you stop loving them or never want to be around them again, it's just we all have times when we are dissatisified with something, whether there is a real reason for it or not. If a person feels that way all the time, there is some sort of problem, and it's probably best to break up. As far as temptation, there is a big difference between idly finding someone attractive and making a deliberate effort to find a sexual partner. It never just happens.
