Does anyone else hate being away from their boyfriend, or am I just too clingy?

[mojito]

I love spending time with him, and even when we’re apart for a day or two, I miss him like crazy. I know it’s important to have space in a relationship, and I do have my own life, but being away from him just makes me feel off. I don’t want to seem needy, but I’m wondering if this is normal or if I should work on being more independent. Anyone else feel like this?

That’s normal and not clingy whatsoever, you got into a relationship with him to spend as much time together as possible , why be in a relationship with someone that you constantly need space from? Partners’ that need constant space, are usually the ones’ that are up to no good , or hiding something up their sleeve , don’t fall for that nonsense , I’m not saying you have to hold each others’ hand at all times , but you definitely should be your partners’ top priority over everyone else and you should make him your top priority as well, if you want a long lasting happy relationship. The red flags to look out for is if your partner can go days without calling you or texting you , or they immediately make plans without discussing it with you first , they just make plans and then tell you oh by the way I am going away for a week with my friend , that’s a red flag you should not ignore. Never stay on a relationship neither someone that treats you like a convenience, that doesn’t include you in any of their decisions, if they automatically exclude you , then start excluding them and start walking the other way. Because someone that truly loves and cares about you isn’t going to exclude you period. Only selfish people exclude people they claim to love and care about. Your partner should always wear your shoes before making decisions. If they do not? Kick them to the curb where they belong. My ex and I use to be inseparable, it was never an issue for a long time , until one day she decided I was no longer her top priority , she started excluding me from things and making plans without discussing it with me first , of if I asked her why she didn’t talk to me first about it , she would just get angry and started telling me I was insecure , which I laughed and said Not insecure I am just feeling disrespected considering you have never done this before. When a partner all of a sudden tells you that you are insecure , that’s your answer to dump their ass because they are clearly up to no good , don’t fall for that nonsense whatsoever, if they demand space from you? Give them take all the space they want from you , and don’t wait for them whatsoever. I use to let girls’ write sucker on my head , thinking they loved and cared about me the same way I loved and cared about them , until I was blindsided by her being a lying whore behind my back , So now when a girl automatically needs space from me I tell her that’s ok take all the time you need , because I will not be waiting for your return if she plans on not calling me or texting me while she is away , My ex went away and didn’t call or text me whatsoever and didn’t respond to any of my texts , so I figured it was over and I ended up on bed with another girl that didn’t need space from me whatsoever, Best decision I made for myself. Do not let anyone wrote sucker on your head. Someone that truly loves you isn’t going to leave your side without staying in touch with you period

If you don’t give your partner enough space, you might end up pushing them away instead of bringing them closer. You should probably get more friends

[Sazidhassan]

No boyfriend should be top priority... other wise he would not be boyfriend just friend

[melnc]

Don’t make me a priority, but also ‘Why don’t you care?' Pick a struggle.

[Sazidhassan]

Out of all of friend he is boyfriend so he should take priority over...

Ok... so not in a mean way, but probably you're a bit too clingy. Take a step back and see what happens. That's what I do if I feel I'm being too much for a guy. If the guy notices and says something then at least you know he cares (and also doesn't mind your clingy side). It's not a carte blanche for you to be clingy (or more clingy), but it means that you're ok wanting to chat or cuddle A LITTLE. (Don't bug him and be all over him, chirping into his ear all day, but don't be super distant either. Balance... and sometimes the guy will have to tell you where that balance point is.) Ok?

I don't like being away from my husband, but I realize we both have things to do where we are apart but know at the end of the day we will be together.

Hey, love! My aim here is to sprinkle a bit of reassurance on your heart. Missing your boyfriend when you're apart is pretty normal, especially when those butterflies are going wild in your stomach! 😍 It's all part of the package when you're head over heels. As long as you maintain your own life and aren't sacrificing other important aspects, you're totally in the clear. Finding that sweet balance between closeness and independence is key, and you're doing just fine! 🚀 Enjoy those moments of missing him—they make the reunions even sweeter. 🥰

Omg no, you're not too clingy at all! I totally get that feeling. When you really love someone, being apart from them just feels off. Like, yeah I can function, but I miss him constantly even if it’s just been a few hours 😅 Some people need more closeness than others, and that doesn’t make you needy. As long as you’re both happy with the dynamic, there’s nothing wrong with missing your person a little too much. Honestly, I think it’s kind of sweet.

I used to feel that way in the very early beginning of our relationship. After moving in together it doesn't bother me so much when we have to leave for a few days for work. I still miss him but I like that I get to miss him.

I love spending time with him and i feel off when i’m not with him… i feel more relaxed when he’s around

[Nikki1989]

I like spending quality time with my husband and girlfriend, but it never has to be 24/7. I value alone time just as much.

[Rebecca97_]

I hate being away from my partner when she away. More then a day.

[wkhan_87]

Yes, it's natural feelings towards our partners. Because we are heartly attached with them.

[MrZameer]

I don't think there's anything bad in it, it's really okay to me
