Hi guys!!

I believe my boyfriend has an anxious attachment, any tips to deal with it or will it get better with time? We are both 27 years old.

My boyfriend wants to be around me 24/7 or talk to me 24/7. I had deleted all social media because he told me it was toxic for me so I don’t have social media anymore, but I can’t delete my Facebook because my Spotify account is linked to it and he insisted there must be a way around that even though I don’t use it at all he wants it gone.

When I’m at work he is on a phone call and is in my pocket ALL DAY. He got really sad one day because I was laughing with my male coworker and told me he doesn’t talk to anyone at work. Which is true, he doesn’t talk with ANYONE. And when I’m around him or on the phone with him I can’t do any of my hobbies (I have a lot, video games, reading, drawing, legos). And he also insists that I listen to him all day at work too, and when I tell him sometimes I want to listen to music sometimes but I can’t if we’re on a phone call 24/7 I can tell I hurt his feelings a little bit

He really means it in the sweetest way though, he treats me extremely well like a princess, he’s extremely handsome (literally everyone says how insanely handsome he is, he’s GORGEOUS), and he insists how he loves me more because I lack the same need to be around him as often. But he’s an angel, he tells me constantly how I’m his dream wife, how he loves me more than anyone on the planet, he kisses me all over the place, tells me I’m beautiful and has never once been mean to me.

I really really really love when I spend time with him, we have so much fun together and I love hearing his voice. I absolutely ADORE him with all my heart. But it’s to the point where I can’t do ANYTHING other than give him attention, he even gets his feelings hurt if I fall asleep early, and when I say I need more than 5/6 hours of sleep (I work mornings, he works nights) he tells me how he gets around that same amount of sleep because he wakes up early to talk to me before I go to work. Which is true, he gets up at 5am just to talk to me on the phone while I work. He’s even called off work just to be with him when I’m off when I insisted he didn’t have to do that, but he said it gives him anxiety

It’s just really exhausting to me but I feel bad because he really is just very anxiously attached and he truly is an angel. He would never ever cheat on me or raise his voice at me.

Any advice? Please no “break up” because I love him so much! I really do!
