Is it normal to not want to let go of your loved one when you finally get time?

My girlfriend and I are both very, very busy and, even though we live in the same house we hardly get to see each other. Her job keeps her away most of the time just as my work keeps me from being able to spend time with her when she gets home. We've been together for about to years and we use to get a lot of time together until she changed jobs. Now I get to see her maybe one full day out of the week, if I'm lucky I'll be awake in the morning when she wakes up to try to be able to talk to her for a half hour or so as she gets ready to work. When she gets home I'm normally asleep because my own work has worn me out.

When we finally do get time together and I get to hold her I don't want to let go and will try to find any reason I can to just keep her right there, in my lap with my arms around her. I feel like some kid not wanting to let go of a teddy bear when we finally have time with each other. I worry that I'm coming off as clingy even though I know the reason I do this is because of how little we see each other for the rest of the week. She's not given me any indication that it bothers her at all but I also know she's not the type to speak out if something is annoying her, even if I ask her. I'm just wondering if it's normal for a boyfriend to not want to let go of his girlfriend when he actually has the chance to hold her.

Call me a softy or wimp all you want but I love this girl and I just don't want to be away from her even though work forces us to go without seeing each other so much. When I do have her with me I just find it so hard to let her go. Is this normal?

    I think it's sweet that you love her that much. The fact that you don't see each other often means that the moments you are together are special and should be cherished.

    Yes, your feeling is very normal. I hope she realizes how lucky she is to have found someone so loving. Maybe you could plan romantic moments together outside of the home on that day off so that it is just the two of you and you could hold, kiss and cuddle her often and building up the foreplay for an intense intimate moment. Make that your date night/day... Many couples schedule those days because like the two of you they are so busy. She should be able to understand your feelings and may possibly feel the same way.
