Yeah so basically my boyfriend and I are completely crazy over one another. since meeting him I haven't spent time alone with myself. All I do is talk to him and when I'm not talking to him I'm thinking about him. I don't know how to break this habit. What do i do?

Ask for some alone time. Just because you are away from each other, doesn't mean you don't love each other anymore.

I wouldn't ask for alone time, that to me sounds like, I want some time on my own away from you, something is wrong with us.
I would just be casual about it, next time he asks you to go out, say no, you've got other plans, with some friends/family. It's good that you have a great relationship but you need to be two separate people who are together if you get my meaning. You need to be with your own friends sometimes and he his. Being together constantly isn't the best relationship, you might start to drive each other crazy. Also, texting him isn't a bad thing, keeping in contact is a good thing, but like I said, text other people too. Occupy yourself with other people, you need to be independent from him.

i agree with englishrose above. my gf and me are basically inseperable too, but we do make an effort not to spend every minute together because by living very close to eachother it is easy to do. she'll often go to her friends place, or i'll spend time with a friend of mine and things like that. we have a thing that we don't spend saturday mornings together normally. just things like that to give ourselves space. we have been together now for nearly 2 years and that works for us. so finding different things to do seperate is healthy and i would suggest that you encourage him to do the same. all you need to say when he asks you out is 'i'm going out with <whoever>, maybe you should go out with some friends too and we can see eachother <whenever>. if you give him a time of when you will see eachother, then he'll more then likely take it better because he shouldn't feel insecure about the relationship which is often a feeling if a partner asks for space.
