Are You Still IN LOVE With Your Mate?

I have been with my BF for over 5 years. We get along really great, we talk about a lot of stuff. We are not bored with each other, at least I dont think so. BUT its a little too comfortable and I know comfortable is a good thing but it can also be bad. When you are too comfortable you begin to take things for granted, and you don't do as much fun stuff together. Sometimes I ask myself if I even still love him, which I guess I do. But am I in love with him??? Probably not. How can I begin to change this around, can it even be changed??

I'm still in love with my life partner until now. Oh, familiarity may get you bored but a little trick of romantic escapade once in a while will throw boredom and familiarity out of the window. Try making yourself a little mysterious, too, a little secret keeping will help and guessing time is a good lot kind of binding!

i've been with my boyfriend 2 year. but it is not only 2 year we know each other. i knew him for almost 12 year because he is my first love at elementary school. and i feel comfortable with him, infact he knew all the bad thing about me, and he loves me no matter what i am. he only think how to make me happy, and he try to give me everything that i want that he still can buy and make. i think i am lucky to have someone that understand me and make me comfortable. so i dont really understand when you said that when someone is too comfortable then he or she doesnt do fun stuff together. i think i still do fun stuff together, i even go to time zone and play samurai or racing like a child together. but it is not the point, i mean, fun stuff is not the important think. if you only want fun stuff in your relation, i dont know how you really feel for him. it seems like you only want to have fun. realize it, friend, everybody always wish for someone that can make her comfortable, not someone to have fun. you can meet thousands of man that can be a good partner to have fun, but only few who can make you feel comfortable. if you want your really full of fun, start it from your self. usually i ask him to go to time zone with me and watching the movie at cinema. and usually he started to ask me to go to the zoo or safari park just to have fun and have quality time together. just try to talk to your boyfriend bout this thing. i think he will understand

I personally don't understand how or why comfort is a bad thing. If you only love someone because you do "fun stuff" together, then you probably never really loved them to begin with.
