Hey Confused Girl,

I know what you're feeling. I'm in a relationship of just over 3 years. At first, everything in our relationship was novel, like new, you know?

So everything was going great and felt really genuine. After a while, the novelty kind of wore off and we were both much more comfortable with each other.

A lot of our time together was spent at home (we live together) watching tv in our pj's and rarely talking.

Try to strike up a conversation with him when you two are together and alone and try to provoke answers to questions you don't even have to ask. What I mean by that is hint to him that you're feeling a little left out in the cold and offer a means for him to make you feel better about the situation.

Relationships are a lot of work, no doubt. Little things like a button being broken shouldn't be stressed. You should save that energy for things that truly matter (finances, kids, careers, etc. You know, things that really may matter to a person)

You could write him a little love note explaining how you felt when you two first got together and how you still feel that initial spark every time you look at him and see what happens.

Little things like that are what make good relationships great :P
