My best friend used to be like this. I'm not saying anything against her, but she spent all her time with her boyfriend until she got completely dependent on him and then boom, dumped, and she was absolutely devastated.
The only way she got through it was with her friends.
Spend more time with your friends!
Make new ones through your current friends and try to get up to as much stuff as possible with people who are not your boyfriend.
Before you say 'But that won't make me independent, it just means I won't necessarily need my boyfriend', boyfriends are not the same as friends.
Having great friends makes you feel more confident in yourself because they will always boost you up, which a boyfriend might not necessarily do [whether or not he means to].
Hope this helps =)
