If you need drama in a relationship, otherwise you’re bored and will lash out,
You’re a shit person.
A shitty boring person, who obviously isn’t ready for a relationship
It’s way too normalized to start fights to “spice” up a relationship. That being in a comfortable relationship, is somehow boring, when like, that’s the fucking goal.
Actually healthy ways to spice up a relationship:
- Communicate with your partner and explain that you don’t enjoy the level of predictability in your relationship
- Find a new hobby to do together
- Find a new place to go for date night or go someplace different each time
- Go on vacation together
- Surprise them with breakfast in bed
- Have sex in a new position or explore a different sexual interest
- Redecorate or start a small home improvement project
- Find a new romantic ritual like slow dancing or writing love letters
- Get in touch with your inner child: go to an arcade, a trampoline park, an amusement park, or a water park!
- Spend time with other couples or go on double dates
- Clean together to look at all your old junk and maybe even organize a garage sale
- Start working out or eating healthier together
- Find a book to read or show to watch at the same time
- Have a no-tech night and just enjoy each others company for the evening and maybe even make it a weekly thing
- Recreate your first date or how you met
- Have a spa day at a resort or make your home a spa
- Get tattooed at the same time (but I recommend not getting matching tattoos, getting their name, or getting your anniversary)
- Or alternatively get matching tattoos, their name, or your anniversary drawn on you in henna or something else temporary
- Shower together
- Extreme sports: try sky diving, bungee jumping, or cliff diving together!
- Prepare a meal from scratch together
- Volunteer together
- Go star gazing
- Make a collage of your pictures
- Make two lists: one of all the movies your partner is shocked you haven’t seen and one of all the movies you’re shocked your partner hasn’t seen and either have a movie night or slowly work your way through the lists
- Take lessons together: learn how to surf, dance, or paint together!
- Go camping
- Make tie-dye shirts
- Plan a picnic
- Dress your partner for your date and have them dress you
- Draw each other, and don’t worry if you’re not artistically inclined! That’s half the fun!
- Have a nerf gun battle
- Learn together by going to a museum
- Take a language class together, now you don’t have to worry about sounding silly or trying to find someone to practice with!
- Join ancestry or some other service and map out both of your families
- Basically anything except for starting problems in your relationship out of boredom
