How do I deal with this?

So my boyfriend is the type of guy to always be out and about with friends or family , and he's a very social person, I'm the complete opposite, so while he's out with his friends or family, I'm probably at home waiting for his texts , the problem is that he would go HOURS without replying and his last words would always be " I'm going to speak to you soon " ( and no he's not out there cheating on me and I don't think that he is 🤦🏻‍♀️), I just assume the worst that he's in trouble somewhere or he got robbed or something. I literally feel sick from worrying if he's okay , he has been in trouble before and he's been robbed before and meanwhile I was thinking he was just asleep or busy or something... so I feel like that's why I'm probably always assuming something bad happened to him 🙄

I literally don't know how to deal with this, is this even normal? I love him so much and I always pray for his safety but anything could happen you know...

No comments about he's cheating or anything like that, because that's the last thing on my mind !

I don’t mean this in a rude way at all, but I honestly think you’re just very codependent on your bf

Sounds like separation anxiety when he’s not with you I understand it though if you say he’s been robbed nd in trouble in the past I would have that worry in my mind to mayb speak to him about it and tell him how much u worry so him txting more when he’s out and not leaving it so long may help put ur mind at ease if that don’t work then I would suggest mayb talking to a therapist about you anxiety’s when he’s not with u xx

Has he always been like this? If this is new then id talk to him about that reassurance i need, maybe for him to check in. I deal with anxiety too and overthinking (which im working on) but i completely understand you feeling worried about him. Just try to work on your anxiety more to help with this and maybe have him check in (not too much) to help you out

Not normal for you to be feeling this way. Honestly some cognitive behavioral therapy would benefit you greatly .
