At times, I'm finding it increasingly harder to maintain the pretence that my current relationship is what I really want. Last night my boyfriend and I had sex, and honestly, I was drifting off to sleep. Any advice from those who've been in a similar situation would be appreciated. I'm not in a position to leave anyway, so I'll just have to improve my acting skills!
To be honest, an open relationship doesn't appeal to me. I've got no problem with open relationships, but they're not for me, and I'd be very surprised if my partner agreed to it. It'd just feel like I was stringing along my current relationship, whilst I tried to find what I really wanted. Not fair on anyone really.
Can't blame you, I'm not into them, either. To me the only option would be to leave and you said that wasn't possible, so I'm brainstorming for you.
Thank you, I appreciate it. It's an option in the long term, but not right now as I am a stay-at-home-mum. Hopefully going back to work soon.
