Is it normal to want my boyfriend around so much?

So me and my boyfriend have dated 2 times, each for 6 months. I have never been in love until I met him. I have given him everything I could. The first time we dated was amazing. It was like a honeymoon 24/7. It was never a question of when I was going to see him, it was what time he was coming over that day. If for some reason I didn't hang out with him the full day we would obsessively text and say the sweetest things. Those type of texts that make you tear up because they are so sweet. We had a horrible break up for a huge reason (there was no cheating). But right after he broke up with me he asked me back, I said no. We then fought, but six months later I called him because I COULDNT GET OVER HIM. So now we have been dating another 6 moths and things are different :/ He NEVER asks to hang out, we argue more because I feel unappreciated. I have yet to get a cute text. Hell he barely texts unless he is bored or at home. His sex drive isn;t even half of what it use to be with me. If I ask him to do something he doesnt want to I get a no. But if his friends (these are new people since the last time we dated) as then it's 100% yes. I'm going crazy. I'm sad when I'm not with him, he says he loves me more than last time and we want to move out together by this April. But i no longer feel like his princess or the apple of his eye. He says that he knows I'll always be here and thats why he chooses the guys most of the time because it's harder for him to connect with them. He says that is we don't hang out for a week he knows that when we do it will be like nothing has changed. But for me I feel so disconnected, and clingy and I miss the old him so much but he gets mad when I bring it up and tells me I should have taken him back because now i've broken his heart to much and it still hurts. I just don't know what to do anymore becasue I feel broken. Like at this point he can do whatever he wants to me and i'll just take it because the thought of losing him gives me an anxiety attack. But things aren't always bad! When it's good it's still great if I can get his attention, but when we are apart I feel like I'm single. And I'm so insecure now because I feel like he got so much more attractive and he could find some one SO much better than me :(

  • I think that your boyfriend need to let go of the pat and embrace the future...the time to spend with you. What you are feeling is completely normal. It seems like somethings up with him. He needs to pull his end of this relationship together...you can't just be walking down a one road street it's not healthy for you!

    Well since you posted your intimate details on a site like this you are going to have to expect to get some crap.
    I'm going to tell you what i see, not saying you are going to like it, but if you are posting this it means you're desperate for advice or help so hopefully you'll atleast read it.

    It sounds like the relationship is dead. Sorry.
    You break up with people for a reason it's not just some random thought that walks into your head.

    He isn't over that you didn't take him back right away so he is using that as ammunition to hurt you because he still feels hurt and doesn't know how to deal with that emotion.

    You want him to be like what he was. But that was the past. Stuff has happened in between now and then that you can't just so easily forget.

    You say he doesn't text you as much or whatever but is he always the one to start texting? Have you ever annitiated the texts? So he knows you are thinking of him?

    He sounds likehe has built up ressentment and you will seemingly put up with anything that he gives you. Because if he is with you but treats you like crap it seems to be better than being alone. No. It is better to have self respect and not get treated like a doormat. He is taking you for granted which isn't cool. The more he draws away the more you want him, which is a destructive little circle.

    It would be best to have a serious conversation with him. Not yelling at him or anything, make a list of things you want to say/discuss in a calm manor. If he won't listen then he isn't helping the relationship and the relationship isn't helping you. You can't do it all yourself. Relationships aren't one way streets, they just aren't.

    I think you alrady know what must be done. People that ask for advice already know what they have to do they just don't want to accept it. (that's a quote from somewhere)

    Oh and don't bother ever posting on this again. The site and password (which I didn't memorize so once I sign out I can't even get back in) Are being deleted from my computer Lol. Like damn. Rude as people. It's like a formspring or whatever. Some anonymous bored rude people get on here to put people down. And I didn't even read these. I read like the first line and instantly saw rudeness. But thank you to the people that were decent. None of any of your guys advice was needed.

    Thanks for the shitty/rude advice. I now know to never post on here again. I read other peoples post about the same things and they had respectful responses. You.Do.Not.Know.me. Don't you ever try and tell someone they are boring/doormat. I wanted an outside opnion on this, not responses that attempt to make me feel crappy about myself? Doesn't that make you feel like a piece of crap? To tell someone you don't know personally at all that kind of stuff? And Actually jerks, I talked to my boyfriend for a long time about these problems and we have understood each others problems clearly now. And we are 100% getting an apartment within the next 2 months. He is excited and has told me all the plans. We also just put in to get our 2 favorite puppies when we move out. Not only did we express everything to each other tonight but he told me how much he realizes what's been going on and he knows we know each other better than anyone ever has. He's been my best friend for 5 years when I met him in Japanese class at our high school. So don't talk to me like i'm ignorant about how much I know him.

    You are waaaaayyyy needy and that is extremely unattractive. Also if one of you thinks they don't deserve the other then it will NOT work out, guaranteed.

    We all go a little nutty over our first loves. It would be best for you to distance yourself far away from this guy and focus on what makes you great.

  • Either.. 1. Treat him the best you can, and
    See if you get any results soon.
    Or 2. Move on.

    Daaaaaaayyyyyyyyum! I actually feel really sorry for you, maybe his heart genuinely is broken, does he throw that in your face when you argue? If you're the same and he's changed then yes I agree, something with him doesn't add up.
    Maybe you need to lay off him a little, let him come to you instead of chasing him around, if you do split up he's going to make you feel like such an idiot.
    It's not fair on you at all, I know you love him and you can tell how passionate you are BUT if you're not happy because he's not the same, is it worth it? You may not see it now but hopefully something will click in your head to make a decision. You only have one life and you don't want to waste it with someone who doesn't feel the same

    Your bf is playing the game!

    Yes he is trying to get his own back but he is also holding back from you to make sure you never get the chance to hurt him as deeply as before! The first time round he thought you were wonderful and unique, now he just thinks you're a boring clingy female.

    He had the opportunity to grow up and away from you, in those 6 months apart and realised everyone needs to have mates when the relationship turns sour. He is now making sure he has the support network if it hits the fan again.

    You MUST show him that you are not a doormat to be disrespected! A doormat is not fun to be with - so he prefers his mates, obviously!

    Please do not consider moving in with him as the relationship will deteriorate even further and much more quickly. Give this guy some space to let him work out what he feels for you. If he thinks you're confident and fun, he will be back with a vengence!!

    Remember that it's human nature to want what you can't have!
    So if you are too available he won't want you :o(
