I have been dating my girlfriend now for 5 months, and it's pretty safe to say that we are in love, and although it hasn't been a very long time, I have a good feeling that this could be the one. We go to college about a half an hour away, so we see each other about once or twice a week, and always look forward to the next time we see each other. The thing is, although we are both busy with our college lives, I normally have more going on than her, and she is starting to get really jealous of the other things that I do that cut down on the time we can spend together. In short, I feel like she is becoming too attached to me. I know there are some guys out there that get really freaked out by those girls who become way too attached to them, but I have been with my girlfriend for a long enough time to know that I love her a lot and I don't want to be with anyone else, so I want to try and work on her new 'dependent on me' attitude. When we are together, we are really happy and there is no sign of the attitute she aqcuires once we are apart. We are so happy together when we hang out, but once we are apart, and talking on the phone or whatnot, she is always mentioning how she is always sad when we aren't together and that she gets so stressed out. I tell her that we love each other so much and that she shouldn't be sad that we're apart, but rather happy that we were just together, and be happy for the next time we see each other. I feel that even when I tell her this it doesn't get through. What do I do? I don't want her so dependent on me that she can't function when we aren't together because she is constantly depressed, but I love her so much that I don't want her out of my life. She gets so jealous when I go to parties at my college without her. I always tell her that if she trusts me (which she says she does), that she shouldn't worry about anything, but she is still a total worrywart. How do I get her to realize she has an amazingly successful life ahead of her, and I want to be in it, but I don't want her to think that I am all she is living for...
