Answer #1

Hmm. It’s kinda hard to know from this whether your boyfriend has the issue or whether you do (try not to automatically assume that you’re the one with the problem).

To answer your question, distraction. It’s the only thing to do. Go get a life away from your boyfriend. Over time it will get easier. Also, think about why you need to text. Do you just miss him or do you need constant reassurance that he hasnt left you?

Answer #2

Ugh, it’s almost impossible to control, but you have to. If you’re having trouble, go places, go for walks, hang out with friends, go to the movies, the beach.. it’s summer break! Volunteer at an animal shelter or the library.. If it helps, when you go somewhere, leave your phone at home.. in case you get an urge to text him. How long have you guys been dating? Don’t talk to him and see how long it takes for him to miss you. If it takes too long, maybe it’s best to be with somebody else that appreciates you more. It’s not wrong to text him more than twice a day, especially if you hardly ever see him. . .

Well i think its both but mostly its just that i missed him we use to hang every other weekend then i moved in with him for 2 weeks then i moved back home after my surgery and thats wen i kept txting that he was geting annoyed by it. i think i just love texting too much. but mostly just miss him ALOT.

Answer #4

So let him know that. But figure out what will satisfy you (e.g. more time together) without driving him crazy.

And if you quit texting, it will get better. It’s sort of like OCD. The less you engage in the behavior, the less you obsess over it.

thanks ill try that…

Answer #6

It is a common theme in our pop culture that somehow to halves make a whole in relationships. Thank God this is not the truth. I am a whole being of myself. I have dreams and Hobbies and Things that make me a useful and loved member of society. If the person I am with is needing me to make her life complete, then I am afraid she might be disappointed. To complete another human being is not my job, but if there is something I can add to your life, then we may have a shot. Relationship is meant for augmentation, not completion. We both bring 100 percent to the table, and we can both add to eachothers lives when we are together. And when we are apart, we are still whole. :)
