Well I have dating my boyfriend for a little over 4months, and I really like him, and I know he likes me. But the problem is he is younger then me ( that's not the problem), and still lives with his parents ( He is 20), we work opposite schedules sometimes during the week, but he has the weekends off. Well I only really see him once or twice a week and I'm getting really fed up. I know its not his fault I totally understand he has work, parents, friends and such. But I just don't know what to do, part of me thins that I should break it off, I don't want to cause him anymore stress because I feel as though I do not receive enough attention. So if anyone can relate to my situation or have advice I would appreciate it. Thanks
Why don't you ask him to move in with you? Just because it's only four months, doesn't mean it's not appropriate to move in. He may be ready to move out, but doesn't quite have the financial support to do so. In this day and age that's pretty common. Our housing market is way out of control regarding home values, and rental rates are currently 20% to 25% higher than they should really be.
You could also talk to him about the needs you have regarding attention. Really, when there is ever an issue in a relationship, be it one person or mutual, you need to talk about it directly. Relationship issues are never solved by being silent.
So he doesn't want to move in, and doesn't see your problem about attention?
If that's the case, you need to severe the relationship. If he doesn't even acknowledge that you are upset, then that's not a relationship. - 3 months ago

No we have talked about the spending time issue ( many times!), I think its a little early to move in with one another. - 3 months ago

Well, at this point the only way you are going to get more attention is if you have him move in. Because it sounds like he is giving everything he is going to give in this current situation.
If you want the attention, that's it. If you don't want him to move in, then you'll have to accept it, or end the relationship. - 3 months ago
Ask him if you and him can squeeze in more time for each other in yours and his busy schedules. Also, decide. Do you want to break this off with someone you like because you aren't getting enough attention, or do you want to stick with it because you care about this guy and think its worth it.
Im not trying to sound like some kind of person who needs constant attention, but when you only see your boyfriend one day a week for a couple hours you think to your self what is the point in having a boyfriend if your always lonely.... - 3 months ago

How do you feel when you get to see him though? Doesn't it feel THAT much better? - 3 months ago
