    Can you tell us WHY you have a dependency on your boyfriend? How old are you both and how long has he been your boyfriend? How did you meet and what was your life like before you became a couple? Is he your first boyfriend or something?

    Recognizing that you're too dependent on your boyfriend can be a wakeup call and an excellent opportunity to work on your own personal growth and independence. It sounds like it's time to explore and develop your own interests and engage in some activities that excite and challenge you. If you have time, it could be useful to begin a new activity or class, cultivate friendships outside of your relationship with your boyfriend, and begin to reflect and meditate on ways to enhance your own personal fulfillment.

    Try, the next time you realize you're depending on your bf instead of friends, yourself, to interrupt whatever typical action you'd take.
    Do something different instead!

    Only if it seems excessive, such as you're isolating yourself from other close friendships, is dependency on a partner, a problem.
