Is it normal to miss someone even after only a week?

[Agate]

So I haven't seen my boyfriend since Tuesday, and it is now Wednesday of the next week, and I'm really missing him. I'm more slowed down, and I'm in a sadder frame of mind. All I wanna do is see him. We might see each other Friday. It's a meaningful relationship too, we both love each other and everything so he does mean a lot to me.

But am I just being dependent or needy? Or is it normal to miss someone like this? I've never "loved" someone before, and I'm wondering if it's just me being too attached or if it's normal to miss someone even after a week like this. I know he misses me, but I don't know if he misses me like I do.

If you truly care about him you are going to miss him. Depending on how long you have been together though and how serious your relationship is though would show if your needy. People have different types of relationships but if he is trying to make space between seeing you then you need to back off. If he loves you too and you know it then relax and do something nice for you while you are away from him. Its not like your never going to see him again so hangout with your friends or family and cheerup. I know it might make you sad but you can't let your life revolve around a guy or its just going to get harder later in the relationship.

We are both busy people, me more because I always have something planned with friends a lot, and he has swimming almost everday in the middle of the afternoon. I know he loves me, but he only can show it when he's in a good mood, which makes me question the relationship a bit. He just gets unreasonable and mean when he's angry though, and because I've been irritable lately I've been making him angry a lot! It's school holidays but I'm just really sensitive, so I might be overreacting. Thanks :)

That's very very normal. I miss my boyfriend after a day. Not sad, mopey missing, but I'm sure if I didn't see him for a week I'd feel like that a bit. It just means you love being with him :) You're only needy if you're up his butt 24/7. Since you two have been apart for a week, you're in no danger of looking needy.

I miss my boyfriend all the time too, even if I saw him only a day or so before. We are both busy so can't always see each other. Why don't you write a letter to him? Might make you feel better, and will make you look forward to seeing him to give it to him rather then dwell in the present that he's not there.

I'm seeing him tomorrow, with his friends, but I'm not entirely sure. And we text almost every day, and talk on the phone a lot too. Problem is is that lately on the phone, because it's purely talking, we clash in a lot of areas so we end up in disagreements more than good conversations. But only lately, and I'm hoping it's because I'm irritable right now. Thanks :)

I hope tomorrow goes well for you then! :) I understand the miscommunication with phones, I tend to misread the context of what my guy is saying all the time.

Thank you, it sort of did, I felt a bit uncomfortable because it was a party with all of his friends, so I was the only girl there, I felt pretty out of place if you know what I mean. It seemed his feelings for me hadn't dwindled or gone over the time period though, and he felt REALLY bad for taking me to a party where I wasn't totally enjoying myself. He seemed to really feel for me. I might see him today too, he asked, I can go if Mum lets me hehe.

That sounds very normal; there's nothing dependent or needy about missing your boyfriend. Hopefully your interest in him will stay this high for a long time to come.
