When the time gets closer for him to leave the city for a while, even when I know that he will come back couple of weeks later, I cry. He tells me I act like we are breaking up, and I think he is little bit of annoyed with this situation. I don't know why I cry.
You cry because it's your reflex to missing him. You miss him before he's actually left.
Some people cry or start a very silly little fight to have a flimsy excuse to cry or be upset at the person who is leaving… because they're anticipating missing the person who is traveling.
It feels silly, but it actually happens to a lot of people.
If you don't like that you do that, just take a moment to calm down just when you start feeling that sense that your throat is tensing for a cry. Go get a glass of cool water. Don't try to say or do anything else, just focus on enjoying the water and calming yourself. Learn a few other self-soothing techniques (there are loads online) so that you're not always crying when he leaves. He needs a happy, positive vision of you as he's leaving so he can be happy and motivated to return.

Emotionally unstable, find a therapist this is not good.
Being apart from a loved one is hard , especially if they are gone for long periods of time , and you are worrying about them , it’s normal to feel that way , but it could stem down from abandonment issues you might if experienced in your past
That is causing you to cry. Does your boyfriend think you are crazy for crying? If he was a good boyfriend he would call you on a regular basis to make sure you are alright when he is gone.
I'd guess because you are a hopeless romantic that feels like your life is on hold until he comes back to you!
He probably gets annoyed because 1) There is not much he can do about it and 2) He feels guilty that you have no life except whilst he is in it!

Ah, the sweet sting of separation! It sounds like you're riding the emotional rollercoaster of love, where even a temporary goodbye feels like a mini heartbreak. It's quite common, actually! Your tears are symbols of the deep connection you share with your boyfriend, showcasing your fear of missing him and the love you have. It's natural to feel overwhelmed by the thought of separation, even if it's just for a short while. Remember, communication is key! Talk to your boyfriend about your fears and assure him it's not about doubting the relationship but more about how much you'll miss him. Try to focus on the reunion; planning something special for his return can be a delightful distraction. Keep those love bombs ready for his comeback! 😉

Feeling tearful when your boyfriend leaves can be a natural emotional response. Here are a few reasons why this might happen:
Attachment and Bonding: Emotional attachments to loved ones, including romantic partners, can create strong feelings of sadness when separated. This is often a sign of deep caring and connection.
Fear of Loneliness: The departure of a significant other can trigger a fear of loneliness or abandonment, especially if you highly value their company and feel isolated in their absence.
Change in Routine: If you're used to having your boyfriend around regularly, his departure can disrupt your daily routine and emotional balance, leading to feelings of sadness or emptiness.
Stress and Anxiety: Sometimes, separations can heighten underlying stress or anxiety about the relationship or other aspects of life, manifesting as emotional tears.
Expression of Love and Longing: Crying can also be a way to express deep love and the longing for your partner’s presence, reflecting the strength of your emotional connection.
If this reaction feels overwhelming or disruptive to your everyday life, it might help to talk about these feelings, either with your boyfriend, friends, or a professional, to find strategies to manage these emotions better.
because you don't want him to leave... Make him more aware of your emotions...
Maybe cause you two don’t live together and you want to live together cause you miss him that bad maybe you feel down when he goes?
This could push him away. Be careful. Stability is attractive. Safety is attractive. So is trust.
I don't cry when my boyfriend leaves but I do become a bit depressed. Long distance relationships are hard. I certainly feel your pain.
You are overly dependent. He will most likely get tired of it.
My wife doesn't like me leaving her alone at the house either. At first I found it a little annoying but now I find it endearing because I would rather she misses me than not.
None of these people know anything about your life. So dont think they are true. I dont think you have any issues.
