I've actually never experienced boredom in my relationships. I am very curious about how that works though. I rarely ever experience the feeling of boredom. I have had the dramatic and confusing type of relationship though and, meh, it's not for me.

Give me plain and boring over drama every time. Thankfully in my marriage I think my wife and I have a healthy balance.

To me the drama and confusing = aggravation and high blood pressure, while boring = calm and mellow.

I thought maybe your pick one choices would have been either "marry me today" or "marry me tomorrow" (No you can't say neither).

I would have asked if I could test drive first, before making the choice!

If I read you literally, there is only a difference of one day, so I'll take "marry me tomorrow".

Picked boredom because there is nothing wrong with boredom. Despite the fun of saying how exciting your life is their are slow periods that happen nothing wrong with that.

Boredum can be subjective one person excitement of skydiving while riding a tiger and fight ninjas in mid air is probably not going to mesh well with a person whose excitement goingto a book store then proceeding to dance with excitement that their author came out with a new book while rushing over to the nearest quiet corner to engross themselves.

Also this question is weird because boredom and drama tend to come up randomly and naturely in life its never really static in my experience or am I doing something wrong.

I chose boredom because I can always create drama/confusion whenever I need to.

I'd climb the walls if I had to deal with either one, but if forced to choose, I'd take boredom. Because ultimately, whether or not you're bored depends on you.

idk. It's choices like this that convince people they're better off alone.

And I find it funny that you make assumptions about people based on the result of some two option poll. Is it safe to assume that you like drama and chaos in your life?
Agree on both. While I chose neither in the poll, and would not be happy with either in a relationship, I could survive the boring one hell of a lot longer. Drama and confusion? Hell no. Not even for a day.

Boredom easily. I don't get bored by myself. So if they are the two options. I can deal with it easily.
