What should I do?

I've been dating my boyfriend for 9 months. Everything's been perfect for a long, however, i'm just too attached to him. I always spend my free time with him. We read to get, do everything together, we even registered for the same courses together so that we can take the same classes together. I'd rather hang out with him than hang out with anyone. For this reason, I have very few friends and I hardly spent time with them. Recently, we moved to Regina,he's got a couple of friends and hangs out with them a lot. I feel so lonely like everything has changed. He didn't spend time with his friends today and all i wanted was for us to stay back at home and cuddle but he wanted to attend a program. I begged him to stay back but he didn't want to, he asked me to come with him a couple of times but i refused so he left without me. The fact that he doesn't spend as much time as he used to with me is heart breaking and it really gets me bordered. i know i'm too attached to him, what should i do, pls?

I'm at a very similar place.  It sounds like you are at a place that you are both comfortable with each other, so now he doesn't feel the need to go above and beyond to get you to like him.  I suggest to start working out.  It's something you can do on your own and feel good, and when he misses you he could join every now and then if he wants.  Make and extra effort to spend time with your friends, you need someone to complain to when you ahve a bad day and it can't be him every time.  You're independence from him makes the time you spend together so much better.  You should also find out what his love language is, that's the most helpful book I've read.

It's never a good idea to make a guy your "whole world" because if this relationship doesn't work out, then what are you left with? You have abandoned your friends and separated yourself from the rest of the world, so if this ended, you'd really be lonely at that point. Make sure to keep in touch with friends and spend time with them. Call them up or text them and set up a fun night to hang out. Get involved with school and join a club or sport or anything else to meet friends and have some fun. Go out on double dates with other couples. Just make sure that you are making yourself happy and doing things you enjoy as well. Your bf should add to your happiness, but not determine if you are happy or not. Make sure that you don't lose who you are and do things you enjoy, not just seeing yourself as a couple.
