Rather than putting the spotlight on your wife, take a look at your “obsession” or need to switch things up and the feeling that you are “never very content”. 😕 The problem lies here — not in your marriage. You’re looking at someone to blame, but the truth is that if you are honest, you’ll realize that even if you were with another woman, you’d still harbor this obsession to change and eventually grow tired of her, too. So take a look at the REAL problem.
You need to find compromises in your life that allow you to try new things, but that allow your wife to have her complacency with the status quo. Deal making in relationships keeps couples together in the long term – especially when there are differences between the two of you. Try spending one weekend with your wife trying something new, and one weekend hanging at home in exchange. You can spend the third weekend trying something new with your buddies, and the fourth one trying something new with your kids, or doing the status quo.
