User Submitted Advice from a 21-30 year old Female Live your life There isn't one person in the world who is happy with just one person in it. Think about it. Sure your boyfriend gives you most of what you need but really, if you are honest with youself, there are other people who give you the rest of what you need. Its always a big red flag when you start spending so much time with your boyfriend, that you cease to have a life of your own. That you stop having friends of your own. I can understand his frustation and if I were him I would have gotten rid of you the second you starting hording his ENTIRE life. You know he had one before he met you so why would you try to take that away from him? If you really did love him you would never want to do that to him in the first place. but in the end, the only way to live a happy life in every relationship is to be two people living their OWN lives together. I think if you concentrate on getting a life of your own back then of corse you will be more appealing to him. Think about it; would you want to be friends with a person who didn't have a life? What makes someone appealing who has no friends, no hobbies and basically no life. The answer? nothing is appealing about that person. For your own sanity I suggest you put your boyfriend on hold for a while, stop being such a clingy baby, and find a life to live. That is what you were born to do.
