Relationship attachment styles
My boyfriend and I have polar opposites attachment styles, he has an avoidant attachment style and I have an anxious attachment style. We both want this relationship but can’t see each other everyday. Need help with finding a solution.

So am I understanding correctly, you are ‘Anxious Attachment’ and he is ‘Avoidant Attachment’. Interesting.
Why I am asking is, my spouse and I of 20+ years are polar
opposites also. But I have a philosophy from an old move ‘Mame’ where Auntie
Mame (Rosalind Russell) states “Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are
starving to death!”
Meaning to me is that we each bring something to the table of life and most
people don’t know to go to the table and eat. But I also like to add that ‘What
I bring to a relationship is already there. What are YOU bringing to the table?”
Do I want you to bring the same? Or do I want something that isn’t already
there?
Help me with understanding “Need help with finding a solution” and tell me more about this relationship.
