    interesting... but what if the guy is the clingy one? and what if they get mad coz the woman isnt clingy like him? what if you guys fight over not emailing enough during the day? what does that mean? seriously. i read all these advices about women shouldnt be clingy/needy, and should give their man some space, but when i do, for some messed up reason, im being accused of WANTING to spend time with another guy, or im getting "tired" of him.....then when i try to fix a fight or talk things through, he gets mad and says he needs space and walks out the door, leaving me hanging and feeling miserable. i dont think i will ever understand men.

    Don’t Be Clingy I can’t emphasize enough that women hate clingy men as much as men hate clingy women. We all came into this world alone and we’re going out of it alone, so enjoy each other but don’t try to get inside her skin. Let her have some space to do her own things and if you don’t have things of your own to do, go get some. [Plus: maybe you just know why lots of married people on casual encounter club, such as CASUALLOVING dot COM said: "Being married isn’t what I thought it would be like."]

    I know that I have had the tendency to be clingy in the past, not because I haven't trusted my man, but because I was insecure about myself. All in all, confidence in oneself, and happiness with who you are as a person, can change a lot of the clingy things on the list. Great article!

    OMG, needy sign #1 the part: You make more calls than that? The unspoken message is that maybe you don't trust him, or don't have enough to do yourself, or are relying too much on him for everyday satisfaction. All are turn-offs-and, in all likelihood, grounds for tuning out. I really need to lay off...lol

    It depends on how you look at it. In my situation..my husband is the clingy one. I want my space...NEED MY SPACE...he thinks he can't do anything or go anywhere unless I am with him. I tell him all the time that we are not conjoined twins..

    I am with this guy for seven months and he thinks i am to needey in that I call him once a day or say I love you more than once a day. I have learned to keep the phone calls to a minimum and only say I love you when it is time to say good night. Do you think that is to much?

    I surmise being clingy is innate in everyone it is a manifestation of one's need to be with someone.Psychologists say it is part of our growth and development,a need to be intimate with someone..it is therefore correct that we do it more often than not leaving someone for a moment without knowing how he or she is creates inconsistency of the principle so go ahead..show that person you care about him or her in your own special way.. The conflicts that arise makes the relationship healthy after all is when these conflicts are resolved that we can say we are in a relationship. There is nothing more intimate than looking at a man and a woman feel victorious over settling their differences..yes,,even if it looks clingy..After all,when we stopped being that way,there will be no relationship..

    Hi, My boyfriend says he loves me. We had a heated argument over the fact he wanted me to find him in a crowd of business people. Instead of him waiting for me at the bathroom. Their were many other things that went down that I thought he did that was rude, However, I am not sure he realizes what he does. He is 48 and has never married. He had trouble forgiving me and now has dated someone else. I have been dating also but I still love him. He calls when he sees me on dating sites and when I don,t call him. I don,t know what he wants and he says he does not know either. What do I do to cut this off or get it going again with him? I have already apologized. What does he want? He drives me nuts. I am the one that suggested we see others and that he move on when he would not stop fighting with me over several issues? Kay
