Consuming me....

(please keep anon)

Right. Well I have been with my Boyfriend for about 6 weeks now, but he takes up to much of my energy......

I really like him. I love spending time with him, but there never seems to be enough hours in the day.

We are at the same college so i see him a bit during the day.

Outside if college I see him 2 to 3 times a week, Saturday night and two weekday evenings.

The problem is. Ever since I have met him I have been hugley distracted.

When i am with him, I couldn't be happier. But when I'm not, I'm unhappy, I can't get him out of my head. Its starting to annoy me now. I wan't to just carry on like I did before. I have done no college work since I have been with him, not because we spend too much time together but becuase when I' not with him I can't do anything but think about him. Its worse the longer i go without seeing him.

I sound like a stupid infatuated idiotic child. but it's not like that. I'm fairly mature in the realationship and generally. It's just I really care about him and he also has some problems that can upset me / take up my thoughts too.

I don't know what to do.

I'm hopefully off to uni next year and I will be needing min AABb. No room for failure.

I don't know what to do to stop him from occuping the whole if my brain.

I don't want to split up with him.

I'm sure others have felt the same. What should I do. Any advice?

Please :confused:

I was in the same situation with my bf, just before my Alevel exams, what I did was study while I was with him. He understood that I needed to work, but he got on with his own stuff while I was round. In a way I could say it was a distraction being with him (I'd end up not studying) but when I thought about how I needed to pass, it became a situation where I would either discuss my work with him, or I'd do an hour and a half of work then get to spend an hour not doing work spending time with him as a reward for working. lol..maybe you could try that?

if that's not possible then..maybe when you're not with him do an hour of work, then ring him? or chat on msn? then it's like a reward for studying. I found planning a lot and actually thinking really positive about it (kind of subdueing my unhappiness of not being with him lol) really helped. Id think the sooner I revise for this test the sooner I can go and spend time with x.

I think it might be better for you in the long run to try and not be so dependant on him. My gf makes me really happy, but i don't feel unhappy when i can't be with her....

This might sound a bit harsh but it's what I had to think when I was doing my A-Levels and being with a lovley bf..

Your grades are there for life even if your bf isn't.

It's just a matter of getting your priorites in order, and it's quite likely that even if you spend all your time revising for exams, he's still going to be there for you afterwards

good luck:smile:
