I will just add that there is nothing wrong with making a lot of saves. I gave you the type of advice I did because you came in asking and seeming like you want a change. You can definitely keep starting up new saves but if you want to do things differently, I think that is the point of the other advice on this thread. In my case, I just pointed out that once things start to feel too settled, you can make a change in the story or the household that keeps things interesting for you.
If you like doing polls, you could even poll on here for some mid-game ideas.
I think really liking your characters is an important part but sometimes characters go from uninteresting to ones that you like a lot if you keep playing them.
