Is it normal that i'm attached to my boyfriend?
Hi. I've been in a relationship with an amazing person for about 8 months now, and I'm beginning to think I'm overly attached. This is my first relationship, I'm not the type to get noticed or sought after. I'm not very pretty or great, but this guy seems to think I'm perfect. He's the only guy thats ever liked me this much, and I feel the same way, I love him. I don't usually post or talk about this kind of stuff either, but anyhow.. Because he's the only person that's romantically loved me back, I feel like I've treasured him. I've been wondering if perhaps I've mistaken an obsession or an attachment for cherisment. I send really long paragraphs to him about how I feel, and I get so anxious when he doesn't reply. It usually happens when I'm not with him. If he tells me he can't speak to me via texting because he's running out of data or something, it doesn't bother me. But leaving my message unread for hours on end makes me pretty worried. It's gotten to the point where I'm crying, he hasn't even read my message for an entire day and I've cried because I'm just worried about him, I don't know... It's not like he doesn't care about me or anything.
He really loves me, he isn't the fastest texter and he is having some issues at home. I don't worry whether he's cheating or with another female, I worry more about his safety. Is this normal?
