I’m bored of life.

It’s not that I want to die. But the idea of continuing like this depresses me. I’m 24 and married. I’ve been married for 18 months. I love my husband but my marriage is rather boring too. When we were teenagers we would go out to restaurants, and go to nightclubs but now he doesn’t want to do any of this. When I ask him about it he just laughs and says he’s “getting old.” He’s 24!

After I got married my best friend turned on me. He became really nasty and we no longer speak. I have other friends who I hang out with. I enjoy their company but I wouldn’t consider us close. Not like my relationship with former best friend.

My job also sucks. The pay is quite good but I deal with morons all day. I’ve been applying for other jobs but noone seems interested.

I’m not really sure why I’m posting this. Just a rant I guess. Thanks for reading.

Maybe you should contact your best friend who seemed to make a big difference in your life. He might have issues with who you decided to marry but if he really cares about you he’ll still want to be in your life. It sounds like that is making a big difference to you.

Look, you’re in a rut, but if you are bored, you are boring. Think about it. God knows there are a myriad of things anyone with an ounce of imagination could engage in. How about a book club, or other social group, have you seen all the great operas, read Shakespeare, how about the existentialists or the beat poets. Been to a museum lately. Watched a movie with a few girlfriends and then got together afterwards to actually analyze it. Try gardening and join a gardening club, or knitting, or kick-boxing or whatever. Your 24. Make new friends. As for the hubby, insist on a date night one night per week that you go out to eat or do something else.

Um… I would probably say. Ask your friend why he doesn’t speak to you any more. Don’t feel alone I know someone bored with their husband too. Do what everyone else is saying. Go out to the movies tonight. Go with your friend, your husband, or your best friend. Read some exciting books. You could join clubs, volunteer to help people, find a more exciting job for yourself. I know I’m just saying this but really give it a shot. }i{

Maybe its just that you need to get out more like they said^^^^^^^^^^^^

And maybe, I could be wrong, your not happy with your life because your not happy with your marriage.
I mean I’m not saying I think you hate him but it seems you guys dont do anything togther really anymore that made you guys so interested in each other or happy together in the first place. Maybe your husband is not the same person he used to be and maybe the way you love him could be more of a “family love” than a “relshionship love”. When work is almost over, do you feel happy and excited to go home to your husband who you know loves you and you love him too, and you think you’ll feel better once you see him when you walk in the door? OR when work is almost over do you feel maybe a hint excited because you hate your job and are just ready to leave, but when your on your way home you know theres not much to look forward too?

And about the other friend, what do you mean by nasty? Did he try do something or did he just not like who you married?
Was it worth it to give up your friendship (sounds like it was a good one) because maybe he said things he shouldn’t have?

Because what I’m taking from your friend being “nasty” is that he has feelings for you in a “love love” way not a “friend love” way and I think he still does. He’s just not happy that you decided to marry the man you married.

As far as the getting a new job part goes, keep searching theres something out there for you, never give up, your not doomed to bordom your just not doing the right things to make you happy. find out what makes you happy and pursue it.
hope i’ve helped. =)

Thanks for all your replies. Especially hannahx12. You got it pretty much spot on. Several months before my wedding my best friend proposed. I declined. Our friendship quickly deteriorated. And ended with some unpleasant name calling on his part.

You guys are probably right. I just need a new hobby or something.
