My girlfriend is boring. She never initiates conversation or makes suggestions. She has no opinions. When watching movies or listening to music, she never really gets it. She's not unintelligent, just extremely plain and a little slow. Even our telephone conversations will often go for minutes of pure silence. Even when asked a direct question, she will deliberate for an inordinate amount of time before coming up with a short noncommittal answer. Her responses to everything are so passive that it just drains all my passion.

We've been together nearly 2 years, and have both sacrificed to be together. She recently quit her job to move in with me. She is deeply in love with me and I strongly suspect she is aiming to get married in a few years. I love her too, yet I often find myself fighting with feelings of frustration and boredom.

The longer this goes on, the harder it will be to be to end it. Even now, breaking up would be devastating for her. Yet I'm worried that the longer it goes on, the more frustrated I'm going to become. And due to her extremely passive nature, even if I start treating her poorly she'll just sit back and take it. I don't want it to come to that.
