My boyfriend and I have been on-and-off for nearly a year, and our relationship has been... tumultuous to say the least. I’ve always had a lot of inner turmoil when it comes to him. I love him very much, but I only get to see him once a month, and that’s if I’m lucky. There was a stretch where we didn’t even see each other’s faces for 5 months. It’s been tough.
I got to see him the week before his birthday last month and we had a great time, but I haven’t seen him since. It’s starting to drive me crazy. I think about him all the time, and sometimes I miss him so much that my body physically aches. Sometimes it’s so intense that it brings me to tears. Is it normal for me to feel this way, or is it obsessive?

    Normal to miss your boyfriend :) I guess it depends why you're on and off and why you don't see each other for months at a time.

      He’s in a band and they have a gig pretty much every night, plus he lives in a major city that’s an hour away from me. He doesn’t always have the money or the time to take a full day to spend time with me. Which I understand, I guess, but it’s frustrating.

        Something doesn't make sense to me: if he's in a band which performs nearly every night surely he'd be earning enough money to travel to see you more often? Unless the band doesn't get paid, of course. An hour away isn't that far if you really want to see someone.

          Yeahhh no there’s hardly any payment. They’re not quite that well known yet.

          Soon, though...

        An hour away isn't that far to travel. Maybe you could go there, surprise him. If he's gigging at night surely there would be time during the day?
