Boyfriend vs couch potato

by Becca89, Jul 15, 2008 11:11AM
Hi i am 18 and im gettin ready to head to college an hour away from home and my bf's house. my bf is 24 and i pretty much live with him. i spend the night at his house every night.  my bf is a farmer and he has a one year old boy. which he doesnt have his kid all the time. we have been dating for 10 months

my bf never wants to go out and do anything fun. he would rather stay at home and watch tv. he use to always hug me kiss me hold me and make me laugh.  now it is like we are married. we never do anything fun. i cant remember the last time we even went on a date.  he never appreicates me or anything i do such as clean his house, dishes, and laundry.  so i quit cleaning and it seemed we would get into fight every night.

how can i make him go out and do something with me. i asked him to go to concerts, water park, the county fair, rodeos, movies, shopping, dancing at clubs, parties, you name it ive pretty much asked him to go. but the answer is always "NO" "im to tired" "im to old" "im not young anymore" "ive got to work tomorrow" he always has an excuse for everything.

dont get me wrong i love him to death so thats why i cant break up with him but im going crazy.  i cant be in the house all the time.  

do you have any iteas what i should do?

Anything i could do to get him up and out of the house?

my relationship is on thin ice just because he never wants to do anything.  its not like im asking to so something every day just at least once in a while.

Now picture yourself out of college and living with him for the next 20 years. Is that your dream? That will be your answer as to what to do. Each person has their own personality and energy level. And it doesn't sound like you two match very well. Yes, you can love him and care for him. That doesn't mean you have to spend your life with him.

By the way, at 24, he's not old. I'm pushing 56 and I still keep moving no matter how hard I work (I work with wildlife so grabbing eagles and wrestling with beavers and porcupines is no fluff job either).

Go to college, expand your circle of friends and find out what you want to do with your life. There's a big, exciting world out there. Enjoy it and enjoy being yourself.
