    My boyfriend and I have been together for more than a year now and I really do love him alot but the thing is I guess he’s becoming more and more comfortable with the relationship now. He seldom tell me he misses me like in the past and he’s more willing to give up going out with me in exchange for more family time. But when we do go out, i’ll feel very loved because he always holds on to my hands and never let me go but when he goes home, it’s a different story, sort of. I feel i’m too available for him, always there whenever he needs me. sometimes i really do want to have more time with him but i do not want to appear to be too needy and clingy, well i see him once a week since he’s in the army right now. Is there anything i can do about this? i miss him but i don’t want to keep telling him that 😥

    It sounds like you want more time with your boyfriend. So, first of all be honest about whether he actually has the time to give you. If he’s in the army and seeing you once a week, as well as spending time with family, does he have more time to spend with you? If the answer is yes, then your job is to make him want to spend more time with you by being that much more alluring and fun. Dial up the sex appeal and the excitement in your normal social routine. For instance, if you always have the same weekly date, check out my book called Ideas For A Fun Date. You can order it online at this link, [url]http://www.askapril.com/relationship-dating-advice/ideas-for-a-fun-date.html[/url], and you can download it tonight and start planning your next weekly adventure. Shaking things up a little may make your boyfriend realize how lucky he is to have you and how he can’t wait to see you again.

    However, if you’re trying to squeeze blood from a stone in terms of getting him to spend more time with you than he actually has, make the most of what you do have, and consider yourself lucky to have a great boyfriend who’s only fault is that you love him so much you wish you had more of him!

    Then, of course, there’s always the possibility that you’re a little bored or lonely in your own life without him, and if you keep yourself busier, you won’t miss him so much. Sometimes men and women try to make their boyfriends or girlfriends their whole world. It never works. For long, anyway. After the first six to eighteen months of symbiotic bliss, at best, it’s really important to have your own friends, your own life and your own productive ways to spend time that you’re not with him. So work on yourself and your own calendar and see if by filling up your days you don’t miss him quite so much.

    Oh I already have a pretty tight schedule because I have to juggle studies (currently in university), extra curricular activities (i’m singing in an a cappella group) and giving tuition to younger kids. But somehow I still find myself missing him a lot despite being so busy! Sometimes I really wonder if there’s something wrong with me but April, I totally agree with what you wrote, the only fault is i love him so much that i wish i can have more of him, that’s so true! you have no idea how happy,how blissful I feel just having him around. When we’re together, we can talk for hours without even realizing how late it already was! But now i do hope I can love him less so i won’t feel so guilty of loving him too much.

    Well, if your worst problem is that you love your boyfriend so much you have more love to give him than you have time with him to give it to him, give it to him in other ways! Knit him a sweater when you feel like you want to be with him but can’t. Bake him a cake or his favorite cookies when you want to be with him but can’t be. Write him a love letter or embroider your initials together in a heart on a pillowcase for him when you want to be with him and can’t.

    Using your time and energy for him, without his actually having to be there, may solve the problem for you. And getting all these heartfelt gifts from you may endear him even further to you.

    Hope that helps!
