The poem suggest she has a boyfriend/husband when is says “Yes, he is the same as he usually is,” In the second stanza she also refers to her past and how there was enough drama for her. If nothing much happens she is thankful because she is very happy with her life right now. The poem is called Being Boring because to other people her life would seem like a bore because nothing ever happens but to her it’s perfect because how her life is now is just how she wants
