How do I get my M16 boyfriend to spend more time with me 16F without taking away his life outside of our relationship?
So, me and my boyfriend have been together for almost two months now. I’ve always been a person who didn’t think dating was for me and never thought about dating someone till I was well out of highschool. Though, I was confessed to and I didn’t want to turn them down because I liked them two and they put themselves out there. I also have low self-esteem and never believed anyone would confess to me in the first place so, I found myself lucky and didn’t want to give it up. At first we were on the phone all the time. Of course I know that, that’s what they call the honeymoon phase and was wondering when it would end instead of wishing it would never end because I’m weird. I want to tell him how I feel and my friends have told me I should, I also feel like though, if I tell him my feelings just won’t matter. It’s something that has been engraved in me since I was a young child. I’ve always been put aside and a last priority. This has lead me to not understand how to put my own feelings into words and push them to be heard and understood that they do matter that I matter. This of course makes it hard to feel like and equal to my partner and balance it out with them feeling equal to me and their emotions matter to me as well. All this has got me wishing that my boyfriend didn’t have a life because he doesn’t spend enough time with me and is on a new trip every week. I get its summer break but that means there should be more time to hangout. Yet, there’s not. When he’s not on a trip he’s working or playing in his band and or hanging out with his friends I don’t know where I fit in to all that. I don’t know what to do about this I don’t know how to balance my own life and his so that it can be our life instead. I recently got a job somethings I’ve been wanting since I was ten and my time is being used so, it makes it even harder to make plans with him.
Also when we’re together he gets horney easily and I’ve told him that we won’t do any of that stuff until later on in our lives and our relationship but, it feels like that’s all he wants sometimes. I’ve known him longer than the two months we’ve been dating as well it’s been almost a year and will be as of August. Does anyone have any advice for me in this situation?
