    How do I get through to him

    I’ve been with my boyfriend for 8 months, but around 11 months total. I’m 18 and he’s 20. The problem is… I believe that we have a good chance of growing apart and that scares me. I wasn’t in any type of relationship for four years before I met him. He is the only guy that I’ve fell in love with, he is the only guy that I’m welling to get everything to. As long as he does the same. I told him from the start that I was done playing games, I was done putting everything I have out there and nothing come from it. We broke up a while later to only get back together 3 months later. One of the first things he said to me when we got back together was that he was done playing games. Everything was going good for a while, until he started hanging out with two for his friends more. And I hate girls and guys who tell who they’re dating that they can’t spend time with their friend b/c 9 times out of 10 they had those friends before you came along. I just don’t know how to tell him that I wish he’ll spend more time with me and some times put me before his friends every once in a while. I know he loves me and his friends are his boys, but I’m missing him. And I don’t know how to tell him this.

    Tell him exactly what you just wrote! Also, maybe try to hang with his friends. He might like that a lot. Sorry you're feeling like this Carkeys!

    Re: How do I get through to him

    First off thanks so much for writing in with this question.  I love when we get questions that are specific to a person, but that everyone can relate to.  I know I've gone through similar things like this, and I'm sure others have had these same feelings. 

    I think the other member said it really well when they said "just tell him everything you wrote down."  I feel like the best way to get through this situation is to be as honest and open as you can be with your boyfriend.  Your heart really seems to be in the right place by letting him hang out with his friends, but your boyfriend also needs to realize that being in a relationship means putting your partner above everything else, and being willing to make sacrifices to make the relationship work.  With they way things are right now he might not even know that you are feeling this way, so it's really important that you let him know these feelings, without attacking him for hanging out with his friends.

    I think a good solution could be possibly planning things where you can hang out with him and his friends.  That way you can kind of kill two birds with one stone.  The best solution in my opinion is just talk to him and let him know how you're feeling.  I'm sure he'll be understanding as long as you tell him that you're not trying to eliminate his friend time, you just want some time for you two as well.  And if you really are as important to him as he says than he will make the changes necessary to make things work.

    Hope that helps you think about some other things, and let me know if you ahve any more questions.

    Kevin
