Dear Flancis, Dani Dave

What’s up? Love the show, you guys keep me laughing every week. Now that I’ve buttered you up, I hope you can help me out. See, I’ve been dating my girlfriend for over 10 years now and things are going pretty good, except for the fact that it’s getting a little boring. We live together, we have a kid together and we spend a lot of time together. I’ve tried spending time apart from her, which I thought would be the obvious way to change things up a little, but I start to miss her, and she’ll start to miss me, and we’ll call each other, and let’s just say that we don’t end up being apart for a long while. So, I think it’s pretty clear we love each other and our company, but it’s just a lot of the same. I feel like a jerk saying it’s “boring”, but it’s not like it used to be. Love to hear some advice from the GLRers. BTW, we’re in our 30s, we live in the suburbs, and we both work (alot). Thanks for your help, and keep up the good work.

In an attempt to help answer this question, I use this post from Ask Men to give some ideas. And thankfully we have Dani the Universe and Dave the Drummer to help give their input on these ideas.

Article 2:

Can this really be the reason why women have sex? That doesn’t make any sense.

Geek Love Tip of the Week:

We dissect the idea that people are just naturally jerks, and our advice is to not like people off the bat but to be wary. Of course, we could be wrong, and maybe we should trust until they don’t deserve it anymore? What is your take?
