Attachment issues

Do any of you have really bad attachment issues with anyone? I have a boyfriend who I’ve been dating for two months now and I really do love him and I know he loves me too, but it’s ttp where I get upset and sometimes cry when he has something to do or he’s going to go and hang with his friends etc. I’ve spoken to him about it and he says it’s normal, I’m just in love, but I don’t want to keep feeling this way. How do you deal with attachment issues?

Thank you for sharing your feelings with us. You're not alone in feeling insecure in your attachment to someone and i think it's fairly common to miss your partner when they're gone. Being in love is a very subjective feeling and it does come with a lot of deep emotions; however, is there a reason why you think you feel such extreme negative emotions when your boyfriend leaves you? what do you feel when he leaves or when you know he is about to leave?
Some people find that communicating with their partner about their attachments issues to be helpful as then the partner can offer some reassurance. So well done for already doing this.
There is a book called "Anxiously Attached" by Jessica Baum. You may find this really helpful to feel understood/heard and also to find some healthy coping skills too!
Being in love for those who have attachment issues can be really tricky at times but remember you are not alone in how you are feeling.
