Over attached

Hey, I’m sorry you’re in this situation. In all honesty, while a lot of it can be classified as normal because you’re still in the honeymoon situation, be careful of fostering codependency in a relationship, especially this early. You should be able to feel secure enough in your relationship to know you do not need to communicate with each other 24/7, you’re both your own people with your own lives separate from one another. I’ve been in a long distance relationship before, and I used to just open FaceTime on my laptop and have it in the background while I did my homework on my computer and he would cook or something on FaceTime. We weren’t talking much or distracting each other , but it still felt like we were spending time with each other and the companionship was nice. Granted, we did not do this every day because again - you two are separate individuals still even when in a relationship.

Try to think bigger picture, get the project done first so you can spend more time together later. Deferred gratification, if you will. Best of luck.
