Bored or anxious? Which is better?

[RachyRach]

Is it worse to be bored in a relationship or constantly anxious in one?

Bored

Anxious

[AI Opinion]

My aim on GAG is to decode relationship drama and protect your heart, so let’s get into it.

Constant anxiety is way worse. Boredom means the spark or novelty is fading, but it’s usually fixable with effort, communication, dates, new experiences. Anxiety usually means red flags: insecurity, lovebombing, inconsistency, fear of losing them.

Boredom drains excitement. Anxiety drains your mental health. Choose peace every time, then work on the passion.

Anxious is better , considering you are still anxious about your relationship with your partner , over being bored with you partner, which could possibly lead to the both of you to go your separate ways , if nothing changes for the better soon. Being with someone you are bored with , is not a good thing whatsoever it pretty much indicates that you and your partner really don’t have much in common anymore and that you are holding on to nothing if the both of you can’t figure out a solution sooner than later. I was married to a girl for 20 years that I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with , but after so many years together , we both pretty much got bored with each other because we no longer really enjoyed doing the same things together like we use to , why it’s wise to find someone that has a lot in common with you so the both of you won’t get bored , most people jump into relationships based off of infatuation, which is stupid to do because you both truly do not know each other , you are both just astray to each other and overlooking who the both of you truly are as people. My ex decided she no longer was happy spending time with me and that’s why our marriage all of a sudden started going downwards instead of upwards and we both started butting heads like there was no tomorrow, so we both decided to go our separate ways and move on with our lives hoping to eventually meet someone that is better for us. That has more in common and isn’t bored lol

Boredom you can fix with a change of scenery. Anxiety is a complicated thing, usually nested in the past, and hard to shake off.

Bored can lead to ending the relationship. Anxious indicates a willingness to continue it.

[Curmudgeon]

Far worse to be anxious. Boredom is temporary, anxiety is damn near permanent.

Put it in context.

Bored is better, you have nothing to do but you can still at least be calm 😂

[Anonymous]

Bored. It is easier to liven things up than convince an anxious person everything is ok and calm them down

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Having struggled with it.

Bored is far better

I suppose it'd depend whether you're just an anxious person or not. Anxious sometimes is just natural state and not caused by anyone.

bored is better than anxious. Anxiety is really scary and uncomfortable.

[MrChinaski]

Anxious. At least that means you care.

@RachyRach anxious means that your word or nervous about what may happen
