How to deal with an over emotional boyfriend?
My boyfriend is completely obsessed and over emotional. I am flattered that he cares so much for me and everything I do, but he has thinks, that because he made me his whole world, I am supposed to care about him and only him. We've been together for almost 2 years and you'd think he'd be more emotionally stable with this seeing as this is an issue new couples have. I do love him, very much so, and I would do anything for him if I absolutely had to, but he does not understand that there are other extremely important things in my life like school, a proper education, time with my friends and family, ect. How do I tell him that it is sweet that he cares so much but he needs to give me space so I can set up my life before I begin a life with him by getting married, which, he is ready for, but marriage itself is a huge distraction. I need time and patience from him so I can make a life for us. He has totally given up on his hopes in life so that he can spend time with me. College isn't on his mind because all he wants to do is spend the money on me. I make my own money and I am capable of spending it just like he is, and he does not understand this. Just minutes ago we had yet another conversation about this. He believes that, since he is always grabbing me and is smothering me (which I don't want all the time. I love spending time with him, but I need personal space) that that means I don't love him or know how to show affection. If I am trying to concentrate or get something important done that means a lot to me, he just wants me to take my focus off of it. I used to take my attention from things to be with him, but now we are older and things are becoming more serious in life and I need to get other important things done. I've told him that he does not need to give up on school, and he if decides to ever go back that I am behind his 100% and I will help him in any way possible. Giving up his future for someone is pointless, especially when you have the chance to graduate from college and make a real life for yourself. I have told him everything I've written and he does not seem to understand that his life does not need to be thrown away, it makes me feel terrible as if I'm holding him back. How do I jog it into his head that there is more to life than having a girlfriend?!
