But, this can become a problem after a while, because both have other responsibilities. Some have home jobs, and some have outside jobs, and both have school to deal with. And yes, guys do have friends, and if he is involved in athletics, he also has that. And I will give you a clue about young friendships that do not last long. One or the other is too possessive and the other begins to feel trapped. The thought that, "If I am not with him all the time, he won't think about me", is nonsense and very childish. By all means, give him his "space". I am curious as to why you don't want your own at times, as well. You can never put the weight of being your "be all and end all" onto someone else. It is not fair to them, and not healthy for you.
