Q: I love my boyfriend, we never fight and if we do, its for probably 3 and a half minutes. We are BEST FRIENDS. tell each other everything and anything and are completely ourselves around each other right down to farting. our relationship is amazing...


so why do i cry when he isnt around? he goes to college 2 and a half hours away which isnt bad, i see him on average every other week. iv noticed that when he's gone. i'll reminisce on the amazing fun and goofy times we had with each other and just cry and smile and..cry. i dont know why. i would give my life to spend every waking second of the rest of my life with this guy. i don't want to cry anymore. i think i just miss him being around me and supporting me and picking me up when i fall (metaphor)


help.. =/
That's not bad, its sweet and I think you are probably a sensitive person who is really in love with your boyfriend.
My guess is that you are probably more than a little overwhelmed by your feelings for him and its scary to feel this way about someone. Its normal to want to spend so much time with someone, but realistically you'd get on each others nerves if you spent that much time together. ( I bet you don't believe me, but trust me). The best part of a healthy and happy and long term relationship is to be a happy person with a lot of interests. Throw yourself into school, work, friends, interests when he isn't around. Enjoy your life and look forward to seeing him but also try to appreciate everything you have outside of him. You can do both.
Look, I love my guy more than anything on the planet and we have so much fun and are best friends and have been together 6 years and lived together for the past 4. Sometimes when we are apart, like if he has to travel for business i get really emotional too.. but I have fun with my friends and family and work and go to the gym and all thos things. It makes the time go faster and you have more to talk about when you see each other.
Good luck and keep me posted.

thanks.
