Hi! I move directly to the story: I'm a girl in my 20s, my boyfriend is 27 and we're from the same hometown. We've been in a relationship for two and a half years, we've been living together in a different city for half a year, other than our home town. Shortly before the declaration of the state of emergency, we went home (to see our relatives), but due to the conditions of the pandemic our departure was postponed. The point is, we're separated now - he's with his parents, I'm with mine. For me, it's perfectly normal, I haven't seen them in a long time and I'm catching up at the moment. For him it is a HUGE problem - he complains that we do not live together; that I prefer my relatives to him; If he doesn't miss me, then I don't really love him. I'm trying to explain to him that there's a difference between love for a parent and a love for the partner... I miss him, I call him a couple of times a day, in the morning when I wake up, I immediately write to him... It's not like I'm not looking for him and I've forgotten him. In his ideas, a couple should be together at any given moment. Whenever I go to a seminar/event/conference where he doesn't have the opportunity to come, he pouts and makes me feel guilty. I've tried to explain to him a thousand times that my presence at a workshop or hackathon doesn't mean I don't have feelings for him. I don't give him a reason to be jealous - I don't flirt with other young people, I don't go to nightclubs, I don't even do makeup and I don't wear challenging clothes... In one of our thousands of conversations, I shared my opinion that each of us should have a separate, private life - our hobbies, friends, side activities... His reaction was highly negative - for him, it was a sign of disloyalty, lack of affection, weak feelings... I don't want him to feel bad... In everything else, we fit... Am I acting like a bad friend, choosing to stay with my family? Or is he very suffocating and obsessive? Thank you in advance for the answers! Be healthy!
