Boyfriend Issues: Part 2

So, to say my night went pretty bad, would be an understatement.

Now, in the end, everything is okay. We resolved the issues, but it still bugs the out of me.

His parents appearently told him that I'm "A little clingy"...

And that made me feel horrible...

That's the kind of person that I didn't want to be. I didn't want to be the overly-attatched-clingy-emotional-girlfriend, and when he told me that's what his parents thought, it honesly made me feel like .

And then I asked him if it annoyed him, cause I wanted to know. And he said yes.

He. ing. Said. Yes.

So, of course I got upset, and I started crying, and then he said he felt like for telling me, but I'm glad he told me cause I want to change, but I still cried anyway, and it just feels horrible...

After I'd calmed down, he explained that it was okay, and he didn't mind, but I still told him I was going to fix it anyways, and then we got off on a whole other topic that doesn't need to be mentioned.

We talked for a little while afterwards, and he assured me he loved me, and I was okay afterwards. He kept trying to make me laugh after that. (and it worked ^_^)

But there's still that little factor that bugs me.

Do any of you guys have any tips on how not to be clingy? I could really use the advice...

Clingy, in my opinion, is a sign of a lack of self-confidence. I usually see clingy in women who are afraid of losing their boyfriend to someone else. To ensure that they are always at the top of their boyfriends' mind, they subconsciously become 'clingy'. But then again, 'clingy' is also defined VERY differently for everyone. Some people might think calling everyday is clingy while others don't at all. Find out what 'clingy' means to your boyfriend and see if it is something that you REALLY do. If you agree that you're clingy, try and figure out WHY. For example, WHY do you call him everyday? WHY do you need to know where he is all the time? WHY must you tell him everything you're doing at every moment of the day? Try and figure out WHY you do the things you do.

I'm certainly not saying you have confidence issues, but it could definitely be one of the reasons why he thinks you're 'clingy'. Remember, everyone needs personal space, even if they're crazy in love :)

Hmm...not really good with romance but i would think that sometimes instead of going to your bf go to your friends when nesasary
Try not text him and call him all the time
Instead of going all PDA just keep it to minimum?
I guess thats all?
OH WAIT...try not to go with him everywhere he goes or agree to everything he says maybe?

Clingy... it's hard to break that habit but my advice, and my sister has a boyfriend and he says this to her all the time, don't text all the time because it becomes too much. But that's what he says and he's a douche... I don't know it's what he says!
