So me I don’t think about my bf all the time 24/7 even though i hear from my friends that they’re thinking of their partner 24/7 and me personally i jst don’t see HOW? Bc for me i have a lot of things that i need to think about and while my partner does cross my mind time time throughout the day i feel like maybe I’m doing something wrong since I’m like them?? Is this is normal??

Absolutely normal and healthy. ✌️
Nothing wrong with you. Some people think of partners all the time, some don’t.
I think its healthy, my ex was almost incapable of functioning if she didn’t know where I was or what I was doing.
It was honestly incredibly exhausting having to text or call back all the time.
I don’t understand this either. I get so busy with my job and hobbies and projects that I simply will NOT think of a partner 24/7.
However I’ve come to realize many people feel that a relationship means they are entitled to receiving that and will be quite upset and think you don’t love them if you don’t do this.
Doesn’t mean I don’t think about that special someone. It just means everything has a time and place when you’re a fully functioning person, and I can’t maintain everything and give someone all my attention every day.
There’s a lot to be done in life if you want to live well, and there isn’t time or space to do it all. I’d rather have a partner who would want to share that with me. Be comfortable in sharing life and being happy rather than obsessing over the state of the relationship.
If it works, it should work. With effort of course. But it doesn’t seem realistic to expect constant attention from anyone.
It’s normal. Wether this shows that you are not in love is another question and only you will know this with more experience. Have you had other partners before?
It’s probably healthier to NOT think about your partner 24/7 than to. The friends who do think about their partners all the time might have co-dependency issues
I think its normal, yeahh
Like I could think about my ex, but not all the time.
Sometimes I did other things with friends or things that made me happy while my ex was out with friends. In the beginning I did worry a lot and texted or called, but that’s becsuse I have issues with drunk ppl after my childhood, but it helped to see my ex happy and not drunk all the time he came home. Made me stop worrying about him and made me think of my needs instead. Besides its always you first, always remember yourself in relationships
