Boring husband

Hello Everyone
Last week we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary
We live a decent life and I love my husband but he is too boring (I don’t like him but I love him)
He doesn’t talk too much even if we go places to eat, go to the movies, go for a walk, some traveling away from the city, i am the one that like to talk about anything or anything that comes in my mind but he is not (Boring) It seems that there is nothing in common between us
Are all man this way when a couple is in a long relationship ?
But when he is around people he seems to communicate, make jokes (a different person)
I asked him sometimes in a joking way “talk to me “ he will just say
“Love you “
I wished he could talk to me like other couples I have seem
He does not make me laugh, he does not joke around, he is not playful he is just serious most of the time with me inside the house or when we go out but why I still love him?
Even though I still love him I sometimes think about going separate ways
I sometimes go out with my friends just to get away from this quiet life I have with him
I do not know what to do anymore
There is no passion between us even if we do activities together

Re: Boring husband

Hi,after that many years of being together you should be able to have a SERIOUS sit down conversation about what's bothering you and not just jokingly ask him those questions. It bothers you so ask.. you really have to express your true emotions and how he is making you feel. All of the things you've said about how he behaves with others should be brought to his attention as honestly he might not be doing anything on purpose or with no intention of hurting you. I feel as if after that many years of being together couples get used to one another and the way they behave that it's simply automatic. It almost feels like when you're around others you have to switch personalities and who knows maybe what you see when he is around others is not the person he enjoys to be but puts on the act. Maybe he enjoys being the quiet guy with very little to say and he maybe loves the fact that he is able to do that with you. I would just confront him in a very sincere way and tell him how that makes you feel. You've come this far so you are doing something right in your relationship. 😁❤ good luck and keep us posted.
