I've been in a considerably good relationship for three years.My boyfriend doesn't lie to me,ignore me,or flirt with other women and he loves me on the inside and out.For the first two years we were dating,he had his small circle of High School friends and plenty of time for us to spend together.Since he moved to college,his circle of friends grew and he's been spending at least twice as much time with them.I can't seem to handle his social life.I can't relate to anything with him and his friends - their hobbies and conversations - and I feel detached whenever I do try to mingle with his group of friends.In the evening,he spends hours playing computer games with his friends and the rest of the hour(s) doing homework,leaving no time for me to visit him and I end being upset with him every other night.
I feel like I'm more unhappy than satisfied with the relationship.But I can't break up with him.I have an attachment to him that I can't explain or reason out and, since college dorms are closed during the summer and my family is many states away, I live with his family during summer and other vacations.
It's also not his fault that I'm not happy with the relationship.I know it's me.I feel like breaking up with him would hurt him,though I also feel like I'm getting closer to become a pest for him,trying to leech out attention from him,and he'll eventually not want any part of it anymore.
Should I try to seek couples' therapy?Should I try to work on myself?Should we take a break - not from the relationship,but simply from each other?Do I need to tell him to stop spending so much time with his friends?I don't know what I should do if I'm my problem.
