STOP BEING A CLINGY GIRLFRIEND

Romantic love can lead many people to be a tad obsessive, wanting to spend every hour of the day together. Being clingy in a relationship can leave your love-interest feeling trapped, suffocated, and smothered. There's a difference between being an affectionate girlfriend and being a clingy one. Some women aren't aware when they go from loving to overbearing.  Being a clingy girlfriend isn’t a bad thing, just as long as you know where to draw the line.



First of all, a clingy girlfriend isn’t a bad girlfriend. Let me clear that up right away. They aren’t born, they’re made that way. She's a great girlfriend who either hasn’t gotten enough love or just wants more love from her boyfriend. This lack of love turns into insecurity, which can eventually turn into a plea for attention and love. And that is the real true definition of a clingy girlfriend.

Space in a relationshipThis is the biggest clingy girlfriend trait that most guys despise. Your boyfriend needs enough time to do his own thing. Guys love their space and they need some time by themselves, even if they’re doing nothing. It’s their way to unwind after a long day.


You may love snuggling up in bed and speak to him over the phone for hours every night. Your guy may love doing that at the start of the relationship, but as the relationship’s novelty starts to wear off and the love settles into a mature and happy zone, he may want to cut down on the duration of the call. It doesn’t mean he loves you less. It just means he’s ready to get back to his normal life when he had other things to do at night.

Go out with your own friends. Don’t always be waiting for him to make plans and take you out.  Don’t ever make him your whole life. At least, not until you know he thinks you’re his whole life!
You don’t like it when he spends time with his friends. Don’t be that girl. Have your own life and make him want to spend more time with you. 
Guess what? Most relationships aren’t perfect. If you aren’t happy in a relationship, walk out of it. Don’t try to change someone to suit your needs because that’s not going to happen. You may think that bringing up problems in the relationship all the time will make him a better man who can love you in a better way. Be frank and explain what you feel without losing your cool. Mention it in a clear manner without any frustrations. But don’t force him to become your idea of a perfect man by drilling him into submission.
Just because he’s out with his friends or working late doesn’t mean he’s sowing his wild oats. Men and women have affairs because they want to, and if they really do want to have an affair, they’ll find ways to do just that. Don't be jealous every time there's a pretty girl around. He really doesn’t need a suspicious girl sniffing his underwear each time he comes home. 
Let’s face it. All of us are different. You may want him to keep you updated on his life every hour or so, you can call him every hour or so and tell him what you’re up to if you want. If he likes these short calls to keep each other updated now and then, he’ll start doing the same too. If he’s not that kind of a guy, tell him a few times that it would feel nice to know what he’s up to now and then. If he doesn’t like it, love him for who he is or meet someone else.
You probably feel like you deserve his attention all the time, even if he’s busy talking to someone else, working on something or just relaxing by himself. Of course, you are his girlfriend. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have his own interests.
You can’t accept the fact that his life doesn’t revolve around you. Love makes the whole world go round. It can be frustrating to see that you are not the center of the universe in your man’s eyes. Instead of nagging about it, learn to make him want you more.
You think he doesn’t love you half as much as you love him. If you ever feel that way, you’re already being clingy. Unless you’re in a relationship where both of you want to spend every minute together, you need to take a step back and let him live his own life. 
While it’s a good thing to give him some space, don’t ever let him throw you around or make you feel second best. There’s a thin line between a clingy girlfriend and a loving one. But at times, even the best of us can end up becoming a clingy girlfriend without really realizing it.
Keep yourself busy doing what you love and make him come to you. Be that perfect woman in his eyes and make him realize how much of a catch you are!
