MEN GET BORED WHILE DATING; WOMEN GET BORED DURING MARRIAGE

New research showed that while men are more likely to be bored with a partner when they’re nor married — women are more likely than men to become bored after tying the knot.

When 88 couples were asked to identify 70 varying descriptions of boredom in their relationship, being ‘dull’ was the most commonly picked answer, with lack of fun, lack of conversation and lack of romance also scoring highly. ‘The relationship feels like a chore’ was also a popular pick.

The research also revealed marriage to be more boring than dating, and not just because of the amount of time spent together. Researcher Beverley Fehr, of the University of Winnipeg in Canada, said: ‘Those who are dating might experience less boredom because they can more readily extricate themselves from a relationship once boredom sets in.’
