So I started dating a new guy, who I wasn't satisfied with because I always felt like he never told me how he felt about me, and I also accused him of not liking me. And I'm dating a guy currently, and I've just realized that I have trouble balancing my life when I have a boyfriend. I revolve my whole life around the guy. I always wonder what he is doing, why he isn't online, why he didn't call, if he will be mad if I hang out with certain people, if he will be okay with many of the decsions that I make. I can't help thinking this way, and it is just because I get too into the relationship and sorta forget about the rest of my life. I still do good in school (I'm a college student) but I feel like I do my homework, go to class and work then hang out with him and that is my life. And I know it is really unhealthy for me, but how do I do the things I love without having the guy on my mind 24/7? At the beginning of a relationship, everyone feels this way, but it is supposed to kinda go away after awhile. It goes away for the guys I'm with, but I still wanna be with them 24/7, and I still think about them non-stop. I get angry with him easily, and I accuse him of not liking me because I still have the super strong feelings from the beginning of the relationship.
So I am wondering what people do when they are in relationships to not be so obsessive, and not think about his every move, and how to just enjoy doing my own thing
Hi congratulations on being in college and doing good things to better your future.
It is not healthy for you to center your life around your boyfriend.
I'm sure you have a hobby you could do or a new one you can become involved in. Also, there are many organizations that would love for you to volunteer with them a couple of days for a few hours a week. This will give back to the community, you will meet new friends, and learn some new things.
I don't know any guy who likes to be smothered. That's a fast way to the EXIT sign. Also, girls who do this are crushed if the guy dumps them.
Good luck on your future!
