  • There's a whiff of emotional manipulation here. There's also the suggestion that you don't feel you deserve him, and that you should be just hanging around waiting to hear from him.

    None of that is healthy. A positive relationship doesn't involve the couple being joined at the hip, and nor does it involve either party being constantly at the beck and call of the other.

    You have the right to your own life away from him, just as he has the right to spend time with others. Since you're in a relationship, you also both have the right to expect that the other will want to spend time together. Negotiating the balance between those two can be difficult, particularly if one of the people is much more needy and insecure than the other. Sometimes it's possible to work out something that's satisfactory for both, and sometimes it isn't.
