writes: For the longest time my boyfriend would spend every waking moment with me and not his friends, these days its the other way around. In a way I'm jealous, but I don't think he's spending as much time with me as he should. He plans on going far away to school and kinda thinks the relationship should work cause he can drive home within an hour to see me. He thinks being in the same room with me while we play videogames on seperate tvs in spending time together. what should i do? should we break it off for a while or should he schuedle better and make everyone happy?

You need to tell him how you feel but it shouldn't be a matter of just him having to do all the scheduling. Call him and arrange to do some quality things in advance.
Like next Tuesday arange to have dinner and see Hellboy 2 at the cinema.
You can't just expect romance to come out of the air, you have to put some effort in too.
If you talk to him and tell him you are not happy and want to start planning nicer days out in advance then he will have all the rest of his time free to spend with buddies, and you will get something better than a gaming partner.
This will be especially important when he goes away as he'll need to fit in you, his friends, and his school work so make plans what you will do a week in advance so you get a full day of quality fun time and he knows he has the other day to go out and be blokey with his mates.
Good Luck!! xx
