Need Help With Boyfriend Troubles

I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years now and we're both 18. I see him 3 times a week for 4 hours each day. Is that enough do you think? I hardly see him on the weekend. All we seem to do is either watch a film or have a mcdonalds, it gets boring after a while. If i suggest something to do he doesn't want to do it after he nearly dumped me for saying we're boring. It's boring because he never says what he wants to do, which I wish he would. Help me!

My boyfriend works as an engineer every day 7am till 3.30pm but on weekends he works with his dad 8am till 5pm. He gets very tired and stressy which annoys me because he's always falling asleep around me. He should at least get one day off, it's killing him.

Agreed. You need to do more spontaneous things. Pay visits to him on different days, go on trips to places.. spontaneity and variety is the key!

But, maybe if he's not willing to make an effort, maybe you should stop making an effort and see what he does. He wouldn't put up with lack of effort and neither should you.
Dont you think your being a bit selfish, if he works as hard as you say he does how can you get angry if he's sleepy?

If you dont like your relationship, get out of it. Why should he change? if he's happy with what hes getting hes not going to want to change. Maybe its time to realise you want differnt things...

what about nights out and stuff? going out clubbing and having fun? or do you like have differnet groups of friends and stuff? what about going out for a walk, going shopping, anything you mgiht normally do on your own. just to varythings up a bit. the way you described how often you see each toher sounds like a prison schedule :eek:

That's more than enough. Also about you cheating on him. My ex/gf (we shouldn't be going out because I can't trust her, I'll tell her that in a min) - she did that. She kissed some other lad (well he kissed her, she kissed him back then she pushed him away she says). She also kissed a girl while we were broke up/not speaking.

It would be EASY to get back together with her but not the BEST thing for either of us, not by a long shot. I can't trust her anymore. Your bf probably feels the same as me. And it sounds like you're looking for an excuse to dump him. Just dump him and don't use excuses. Tell him the real reason you want to dump him. And I doubt it's not spending enough time together.

If you don't tell him what you want how can you expect him to know? I don't think he's a mindreader. Tell him what you want.
... I don't think you have any right to complain about this part your relationship given your other thread. *grrr*. I think it would be best for you two just to end it now, have a think about how you truely feel and tell him, even if you truely feel that you don't want to break up you should tell him, but I'd still recommend doing it because, well if your relationship recovers from what you did, I'll do something highly uncomformtable and embarrasing [though I can't really think of what just at the moment].
