I am a mommy, a wife and a woman with a lot to say. People are fascinating and I love to study and understand what motivates, inspires and intimidates us into making the choices we make. I want to share my insight and continue to learn even more about the human psyche. Ask away!!

I have a boyfriend and we get on really well when we're together. We've been going out for 4 months but we've known eachother for a lot longer. We were really good friends before we started going out.
The only thing is, lately he wants to see me 24/7. Don't we need space? I feel I need a bit of time on my own. But I dont know what to say to him. I don't want to hurt his feelings in anyway. When I say I have stuff to do he gets a bit annoyed.........well he kinda says its ok but he hints it a lot that hes not happy with it.
Please help me (link)
The key to any successful relationship is two fold. 1)trust and 2)communication. Both are neccessary. So first you have to figure out why all of a sudden your boyfriend insists upon spending every waking moment with you. Does he have issues with trust, stemming from past relationships? After you address the trust issue, it is imperative that you make sure the lines of communication are open. Your feelings in this relationship are just as important as his, and as long as you are addressing these issues in a sesitive and respectful way there should be no problem. Everyone is entitled to their personal space, encourage him to spend time with his friends or take up a hobby. But in the end if you don't feel as if you can speak openly with your significant other then your relationship can never be as fulfilling or long lasting as you'd like. Good Luck.
