Dull partner is too predictable and I want to cheat for some excitement
DEAR DEIDRE: I AM thinking of cheating because my partner is so dull he drains the life out of me.
I’m still young at heart but he enjoys routine.
I’m 51 and he’s 54. We’ve been together for four years.
At first I found his calm nature endearing and his quiet home life a sanctuary. But now I’m bored.
He’s too predictable. I get home from work, he’s in bed reading and my dinner is in the microwave.
He asks how work was, then turns the bedside lamp off at exactly 11.01pm every night.

He only attempts sex on a Saturday evening and I keep turning him down because everything with him is like clockwork.
There’s a guy at work who has been giving me the eye.
Recently he asked why I’m not wearing a wedding ring and I’m sure that was his cue to find out my relationship status.
I’m tempted to see where things go with this guy.
DEIDRE SAYS: He might be boring but he deserves your honesty.
Cheating won’t solve this but a candid conversation might.
