I love my boyfriend too much

Whenever he's away, I feel so lonely and I don't know what to do with myself. We hang out every day and I don't enjoy hanging out with anyone else (I never really have) so I never do. I've been in love twice, this being the second time, and both times, I've wanted to spend every second with them. Is it normal for me to feel so bad when he's gone? I feel like if we broke up, my life would have no meaning. I know my age comes into play with this too, and I feel immature about the situation but I just can't help it. By the way, I'm a 17 year old female.

    Do you know why you feel this way? Difficult relationship with parents or upbringing, perhaps? Although on the face of it, you sound like the ideal girlfriend, it does get tiring to deal with the constancy of someone's unwavering attention. Even with someone I thought the absolute world of, there were still moments where I'd crave a little bit of time alone.

    Mando's advice above is extremely good and there's no point me repeating it, but I do endorse it. I wonder, however, whether your need for your boyfriend also may manifest itself in other ways. Jealousy? Insecurity?

    You sound like a good, honest, intelligent person and it's good that you're thinking about things like this, and asking the question. Your ability to deal with the feelings will ultimately determine the future of your relationship.

    you may not want to let him know you feel this way.. could scare him away.

    • He sort of knows since he's been around me all the time, and he's a good guy. Concerned about me. But yeah, I wouldn't want him reading that. It put out the neediest-sounding thoughts I have. Hahaha.
