<human>: I am having a hard time being compassionate about this because I feel that when he isn't working, he should try to spend some of that time with me, and I get frustrated when he goes out with his friends instead. I have been uninvited to things when he just wants to be with "the boys." (We talked about this. He agreed not to do it again. I don't mind if he goes out with his friends, it's the UNINVITING that really stings. It's only happened twice though and I don't think it will happen again) I feel like I make him a priority and he doesn't do the same for me.

I am aware that I might be selfish. We've had this talk. I totally want him to see his grandmother (they are very close), and I want him to make the money for his plane ticket. But, it is *hard* being away from him. I miss him all the time and the pieces of conversation that I have with him when I don't see him aren't enough for me.

When he's with me, things are good. We love each other. It's when he's away that I have trouble. I spend too much time thinking about what he is doing and who he is doing it with. It's not easy for me to admit this, so please be gentle. I know that the situation is not really alterable -- he needs to work for money to be with his grandmother, and he needs time with his friends, and he needs time to illustrate and also time with me, and this doesn't leave a lot of space for wiggle room. I get that.

What I want to know is, how can I get over this? I don't like being so dependent on someone. I love him tremendously and I know he loves me. I want to be there for him and I want him to be able to confide in me. I just wish I could detach a little more.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: I am too attached to my boyfriend of 1 1/2 years, who needs a lot of space for himself to do all the things in life that he has to do.
