Am I being selfish?

I believe the honeymoon phase is over for my boyfriend whilst I'm very much still in it. Basically I now want to spend more time with him than he does with me. I feel selfish when I question it because it bothers me.

It's not selfish..you just want different things.
Unfortunately for you that means you have to respect his boundaries here but he doesn't have to spend more time with you if he doesn't want to.

How long are we talking here ?

Been together nearly six months. But very much into each other. I do respect his boundaries and obviously don't give him any crap for not seeing me. For me a relationship gets stronger and you see each other more and it isn't the same for him.

How many times a week/ fortnight would he see you on his needs and what are yours?
How old are you both?
Do you live and work near each other?

It's going to depend on so many things, maybe if he's having work related stress he's retreating because he needs more down time.

You'll either work it out or you'll drift apart. This is a normal 6 month dilemma in my love life. Unfortunately I'm usually the one drifting away as I have a busy life and can really only manage 3 meet ups/ dates a fortnight
