I have been with my partner for 3 years. Lately I have been restless.

I am bored. Sex is dull and infrequent. We both work exhausting jobs and veg out if we are home with one another during the week. The weather in NYC has been awful so we don't feel motivated to go out much right now.

Any tips on giving this relationship a boost? I don't want this to become a bigger problem than it is, and I know this happens to everyone.

My fiance and I realized we always did the same things... so we got a jar... put a bunch of suggestions for things we'd like to do in that jar or places we'd like to go together.... and on Friday or Saturdays we would draw one of the papers out and that's what we'd do for a date. It's kind of fun to see what you're gonna get. just a thought?

Is there anything you two can do about your jobs? I see that as the crux of the problem. Your jobs are leaving you drained.

That's an interesting idea. I think I did something like this once almost twenty years ago. It was interesting and fun. Good idea.

Not right now. He just started in a new field and I work in an industry that requires long hours and lots of travel. We both love our jobs but they are taxing.

It just seems that as long as you have that drain on your energy, it'll be difficult to get up the energy to effectively address your main concern. You don't want to feel like you're just going through the motions, like you're forcing yourself to do stuff.

Practical jokes that don't hurt anyone.
Laughter cures everything, and shows that you are still alive.
You are, aren't you?
Here are a few that I googled just now!
Have fun.

If jump starting is what you want to accomplish I suggest nipple clamps and a low voltage car battery

Wow, this is a great idea. Not only is it fun, but it'll give the OP and his girlfriend something to look forward to on the weekends. It is always important to have something you do together that you look forward to, I think.
