    You sound depressed. You need to get some external assistance. Find things that you enjoy that give you your energy back - what do you enjoy? When do you feel good? Find opportunities to do more of that (assuming it's not harmful to yourself or anyone else - drinking and drugs, for example, aren't good options...)

    Try to remember the good things aboout your boyfriend - what attracted you to him in the first place? Look for more of that in him.

    And if all else fails, maybe with the help of a counsellor or support person, you will discover that really, this relationship isn't for you and then you will get support as the relationship comes to an end. It does happen that people "fall out of love". It's tough, but it does happen.

    Take care of you and your son.

    Anyone who begins a relationship & allows it to progress to the point of having children, then "gets bored", needs to grow up. You have a child with this man & do you honestly believe that ripping this child's heart out for your 'boredom' would be the right thing? Did the 2 of you never marry?

    Get yourself some hobbies, and get involved in things other than what interests the father of your son may have. Married women have had to cope with ups & downs in their marriages since forever - as have the husbands - and many of them didn't destroy their children in the process. Is your 'boyfriend' aware of your feelings? I hope, if you can tell him about it, you'lll do it with kindness, poor guy.

    Tell him your lonely and would like to get back some romance in your relationship sometimes people just get in a rut because they are so used to each other and just need to spice things up again and reconnect with one another. You have to communicate your feelings to him or he will probably never know a lot of men are not very perceptive.

    It's normal to feel what you're feeling. This can be fixed...If a relationship needs just a little "push"...then it's worth fixing...It sounds like he hasn't given you a reason for you to feel this way. Once you open up to your boyfriend, all things will fall into place..including the physical attraction towards him.....good luck and ...you'll be ok..

    It's up to you to find your own happiness. If you are unhappy, find someone who will make you happy.

    I personally would talk to him about your loneliness, and come up with a plan to reconnect. Maybe go away for the weekend, just the two of you.

    Then make future plans to spend time alone with each other, outside of the home.

    When you have children, sometimes they take center stage and your relationship suffers.

    Hope you find your happiness.

    Yes, things can be fixed with time. However, you should not be unhappy all the time. It sounds like you have fallen out of love. I think you should get out of this relationship because it's not healthy for you or your son.

    You're not happy, and you shouldn't continue living unhappy. I would end the relationship, and live some place else, or if he lives with you, tell him it's time you need separation. Otherwise if you don't, you're going to end up having an affair and being unfaithful. Or, maybe seek marriage/couples counseling and see about working things out.

    no one should stay in a relationship where they are unhappy. Once the love is gone, it's hard to repair .....you can try to talk to him ...get counseling ...but chances are you just need to move on ..and do what you have to do to be happy.
