Advice on co-dependency in a relationship and not coming off as so needy?
Question Posted Sunday March 6 2011, 10:14 pm
So My boyfriend and I have been together for 7 months now, we basically have been spending everyday together usually driving around hanging out with friends, running errands, visiting family, etc... He recently got layed off a week ago and I've noticed he doesn't want to hangout as much... Which I can understand its taken a toll on him.. I think I've become too used to hanging out and doing everything with him though and this whole hanging out less is getting to me, and I don't want to be that girl whos up her boyfriends butt all the time sounding all needy. The thing with me though is I have major seperation anxiety and depression, whether its with him or anyone I just don;t like being alone in my thoughts...especially not having a job or going to school right now.. so I end up racking my brain with all these crazy thoughts...such as "hes sick of me" "he doesn't care" and when I come to him about my problems and how I feel he tends to just get really annoyed by it....So I'm looking for some advice on co dependency in a relationship and what I can do to not be coming off as so needy. I want it to be the other way around actually where instead of me always waiting around for him to come see me, I want him to wait around to be able to see me...like actually miss me like I always do him. Just don;t want to be so weak...ya know? Also We've been having this problem where we hangout ALOT but its always more friendly then boyfriend girlfriend lovey dovey...we have sex once a week...and I wish there was more compassion. I mention it all the time...but things haven't changed. I love him alot, I don't want to become distant :-/
