My boyfriend (20M) and I (21F) have been dating since June 2025 and officially together since July 2025. Our foundation was healthy, as we became friends first… as we’ve dated, we have become each other’s best friend and that’s how it is now. We communicate well, hang out (either in person or on call) nearly every day, don’t have big fights, and love the other person’s company. Not only do we have amazing chemistry in friendship, but romantically, we fit together so well. He is honestly everything I’ve always wanted in a partner, and now I have that. Not to mention, he is currently saving up for an engagement ring because we are so sure about each other and want to start our future together. However, I have been feeling a little lonely — and sometimes sad — the past few months. It’s gotten worse over the past couple weeks. I am aware that it’s probably because I have become more attached to him the longer we’ve been together, and struggle when I don’t know when we’ll see each other next. We were long distance from August-May, so now I obviously want to spend as much time with him in person as I can because we recently closed the distance. I also have been spending less time with friends because life with my boyfriend can be very busy. So, I’m trying to work on not losing myself in this relationship; doing my own hobbies, hanging out with other people, etc etc. My boyfriend makes me so happy and fulfills me, and I am wanting that for every aspect of my life. I need advice on how to combat these lonely and sad feelings, and I also want advice on what I could say to him about this, if I should even say anything… he has no idea I feel this way. Thanks in advance:)
