Why am I angry at my boyfriend?

Ok, so for the past couple weeks I've noticed something very odd. When ever my boyfriend hangs out with one of his friends and doesn't spend time with me I get angry. I don't know why, I just do. Almost like "Why are you hanging out with them and not me?" even though we see each other a lot. Anyone else go through that?

    One person giving you every single second of their free time isn't cute and romantic, it's annoying and smothering! Even if he dropped all his friends tomorrow and devoted all his time to you, this probably would not truly make you happy. In a few weeks or even days, you would be begging for space!

    Just like a plant needs space to grow, so does love. When you don't allow someone their own life, their own friends and their own interests, any love they have for you doesn't have room to grow. A relationship can be a life changing thing but it shouldn't change who we are. It also doesn't mean we should dump all our friends. You would not like it if he tried to change you.

    So just deal with it and try to find a balance between friend time, relationship time and "you" time. We all need space and this means having a healthy mix of loved ones, friends and alone time. Part of growing up is understanding that other people need this too. Sometimes when people spend too much time together, this can make you get really sick of each other fast!

    You are with this guy for a reason and one of those reasons is that he is probably a likable person. Instead of being angry or jealous about this, try to look at the bright side...You are with someone who is well-liked by a lot of people and they probably want to see him happy. Maybe his social life isn't always your thing BUT you both probably have a lot of people who want to see you two stay together and who want you two to be happy. He also is into you enough that he wants YOU there too. So maybe you should be happy. Best of luck to both of you!

    That is called jealousy, and you're probably prone to become possessive...don't smother him or he will get tired of you, give him his space.

    In love, we often desire and want too much, but offer less!
