If you've experienced the inevitable drag in your dating life, be relieved that everyone experiences this situation, whether a person is in a gay relationship or otherwise. You may be hanging out with the guy you're with for some time now, and the feeling of being trapped in the relationship is slowly creeping in. Unless you have undisputable reasons for feeling so, it is probably a transitional phase, which you will get over with, consequently moving into a deeper bond with your significant other. Otherwise, there is always something you can do about the feeling until it tides over, and it would be to your benefit if you try these tips out.
You probably met your hubby at a gay nightclub, in the same way as most other gay people do, hooking up with a prospect with 'the look'. At this point, everything positive about the other guy has been magnified, and his flaws are considered minute in comparison.
You start with a casual conversation, and eventually come up with the consensus that there's something worth pursuing in the connection. The nightclub becomes your regular rendezvous point, and eventually you both move on with visiting other places in each other's company.
Here's where the itch starts. Too much familiarity may be a letdown, and may even breed contempt; the most potent antidote to this is constant communication. It is the key to all successful relationships, and you couldn't spare on it with yours.
If you still feel that you need to reserve for yourself some personal space and time alone, ask your partner to consider the prospect of going your own separate ways (at least for the meantime); visit clubs apart from each other, meeting new people and making friends which are outside your intimate circle.
If you haven't seen each other in a month due to this arrangement, it might help to renew the communication ties, at least via phone; the sudden realization that you've both been apart for so long may spark the passion flames anew.
Understand that the feeling may be a transitional one, or the relationship itself is just a phase. Either way, be prepared to roll with the punches, and ride with the peaks which gay life may provide. If you bear a phobic tendency with long-term commitments for fear of a stagnant and boring social life, do remember that you can still be adventurous even if you don't breakup with your partner.
There are plenty of diversions which you can involve yourself into, like watching gay videos. You can even invite your partner or some of your friends to watch gay videos at home. If you choose to take an exclusively gay cruise, gay videos are a staple onboard perk.
Go and travel to new places, do something different, like paddling out on a kayak or going out on a road trip; as long as you're doing something new, there's something for you and your partner to get involved into without getting too much of each other's presence. The experience can even encourage the relationship to move onto more developed stages, and you may realize that you're not as much of a commitment-phobic as you think.
