Spending Evenings Together

© Dr. Dennis Neder

Hello. My boyfriend wants me to visit him every evening. When I'm there, his idea about spending ideal time together is watching sports on TV. I don't like sports so I get very bored. How could I make our time together more interesting for both of us?


Hello!

I recommend that you two get a "couple's hobby". This is simply something that neither of you have ever done before, but that you're both interested in. Then, you get to start at the same place.

This will give you something new that you both can get exited about and share and grow together through. You can even get involved with organizations that are built around that hobby and meet other friends that share the same interests. What you're effectively doing is building an entire community through just doing something fun.

Your boyfriend needs to understand your lack of interest in sports and also needs to understand that your relationship needs to be built on more than his interests here if he wants to keep you. Really, how long could this possibly last? It sounds pretty boring to me.

Best regards.
