SOS!

I've been with my boyfriend now for 3 weeks and I love him to pieces..He's everything I want and need and he makes me soooooo happy! We both live in the same city but different sides so it can be a pain gettin to and from to see each other. Lately though im lucky if i see him twice a week and I hate not seeing him. I know he has things to do and he's quite a family orientated lad but I just feel as if theres no time for me any more. He says its not his fault and I know that but what's the point in having a relationship I f we hardly see eachother.I want this to work..I really do more than anything!! I know he's not being unfaithful, it's not in his nature, but I'm really concerned. What shall I do????? Please Help!! Amie_x

hugs2muchgal agony aunthey there, im glad you realize it isnt true love yet

since you are a young teen and so is your boyfriend (i'm assuming) this is a time where family runs what you can and cant do so his having to be around family is something that you will have to deal with.

remember waiting things out can be very worth it. so wait a few more weeks to see how things go...dont fall to the paranoia.

Green_Eyes agony auntHi Amie,

I'm in a long distance relationship (my boyf lives at the other end of the UK!)so I know how hard it can be when you want to see him so badly.

The first few months of a relationship are fab - I know full well the fluttery feeling you get even at the mention of his name...and that you miss him even after the space of a few hours! So, I get where you're coming from on this.

All I can suggest is to try to appreciate the time apart and see it as a good thing. At the other end of the scale, relationships can be too intense and the novelty of seeing him - the excited feeling you get - can wear off very quickly.

So, spend time with your own family; go out with your friends. When you do actually get to see him, you'll appreciate your time with him so much more and will have loads of catching up to do!

All the Best Xx

I think you should really listen to what the other poster has written! Three weeks? Good grief, girl, you barely know him yet! You're infatuated with him: real love takes time.

Seeing him twice a week sounds pretty damn good to me, and if he's fond of being with his family, that is a pretty good trait.

Slow down!

hugs2muchgal agony auntum...sweetie how old are you?

you sound like a young girl who has a case of "puppy love"

you say you two have been together for three weeks...and since he is family oriented there is no time for you...anymore? if you only see him like twice a week then you've been together what? 3-6 times since you got together? i'm a teen myself, i see my boyfriend once a week if lucky, but we talk on the phone alot and we are doing great, why dont you try calling him more? get to know him more? not seeing him often can make the times you do see him even more special.

now if you are older...well you aren't acting like it. you dont fall in love in less than 3 weeks, and honey if you are complaining about him caring for family(which is a great trait if you are serious about wanting family one day) and not seeing him enough after only 3 weeks, you don't really love him and there is no point to this relationship until you act your age. im sorry for being harsh, but you are being ridiculous. if he is with his family he isnt cheating and probabaly misses you a ton too. talk to him about it, but if you are so dependent you cant last a few days a week without him then get out of this relationship and really try to grow up and be independent.

good luck with this, and please give me some more info about you. like how long have you two known eachother, how old you are, etc. those all make a huge difference to how your problem will be preceived.
