Is being clingy a deal breaker in a relationship?

Question

DellBell · Accepted Answer

I do and don't like it? I had guys into me in the past that wouldn't stop messaging me all day... then when I don't text them back right away, they are wondering if I'm mad at them etc... in that sense no thank you! That's one way to make a woman run for the hills!

But if he is very affectionate and that in person yet gives me space, if I am busy then I'm cool with that... I dig a guy that shows his partner how much they care than a guy that does but is distant and that his actions show different... so yes I rather clingy guys but not overly obsessive clingy...

I'm actually clingy myself when it comes to relationships anyway.. I am pretty affectionate and passionate to my partner etc but again I love my space to do me and so do they... I think it depends on the person

Definitely! I want an affectionate partner (someone to cuddle and send heart emojis because I’m a bit corny) but clingy people are the death of me. I hate it when they spam text me because I don’t respond since I have things to do or when their overly affectionate (such as saying “babyyyy text me back”) that gets on my nerves and is definitely a deal breaker! I prefer someone who texts me every day a few times when we’re free and wants to hang out often with me but isn't going to spam my phone 24/7

I don't necessarily mind clingyness as long as it's consistent. My ex used to be completely indifferent to me whenever it was just the two of us. But once we would go out to visit family she would suddenly become glued to my side and act like a super lovey-dovey newlywed (keep in mind this is after being married for 10 years). Once we were away from family, the cold shoulder came right back. It would piss me off so much. So as long as the other person isn't just putting on a show for extended family, I wouldn't mind.

Typically yes. But I think a lot of that depends on how you feel about the woman. I have had FWBs that were clingy and I ditched them because they always wanted to know where i was, where i was going, why i can't sleep over... its like... i dont love you. we aren't dating.

However, if you are really into a girl a lot of things she can get away with and you won't even think of what she does as clingy.

Clingy is adorable as long as it's not stalker level. Some spam messages can be alright in my opinion. Like if you are asleep but your partner is up and thought about you enough to send some really adorable messages so when you wake up, you have good morning texts. My ex used to absolutely love that I did that for her because no man ever did it for her prior. It made her desire to cuddle with me for it

Abxah · Answer

It depends on how clingy they are. If they’re so clingy as they can’t go anywhere without you, or they’re starting to get into your personal relationships with family, then yeah, it’s a big deal breaker. But if it’s just wholesome “I want attention” at random times in the day, then probably not.

torgor67 · Answer

Nope I actually find it quite attractive as I would love a girl like that personally. Not if it was overly obsessive however such as checking on me constantly when I'm in the middle of stuff but I really find clinginess attractive.

alice55 · Answer

I don't mind a clingy partner it's flattering after if they become agressive cause I don't give them enough attention then they become annoying.

Josephx760 · Answer

Nah not a dealbreaker necessarily especially if you enjoy her company but also it depends on the relationship in one relationship i couldn't deal with it but in a different relationship later on I'd like her to be clinger..

I don't like clingy. I can be a very tactile person but I need my space, probably more than most people or I mentally burn out.

Commander_Red · Answer

Depends. If I say I'm busy and they still won't stop bothering me, that's annoying as hell, but in general, I like clingy men. As long as they still know their boundaries.

As an introvert, this is a nightmare. Girl, I need a time out. I need my alone time to recharge my batteries. Battery [of partner] will result from a flat battery. Girl, get a [different] life to parasite off.

Jjpayne · Answer

It's tough... I'd say yes and no. I'd love to have attention but how much attention? That is the question right there... Space and boundaries are important.. I'd say it's a balance, attention and space should be equally important

Spyke_34 · Answer

For me personally I actually really like it, love to just be with them, it always brightens my day etc but I'm an Empath so I feel a lot from her aswell as stuff around me too.

Therisinghero12 · Answer

For me, yeah, I value my space and time, and I like to have a balance between alone time and time with people, if someone tries to be with me 24/7 I just can't handle it.

TaureanBull81 · Answer

Most definitely as a clingy partner doesn't allow you to have your own personal space to rest, unwind and relax!

If my girlfriend @sweetcake2516, keeps clinging to me, we're going to separate for a long time so it stops getting old.

Metlahaed · Answer

I'm ok with clingy, I just don't want jealousy or controlling behaviour. In fact, I prefer clingy. I really believe in a relationship you are a team so I guess I'm clingy too.

Serenitykayyy · Answer

If they’re clingy all the time then it’s a deal breaker for me.

There are degrees of clingly, as there are for most things. So no, not always.

Meatboy02 · Answer

No I like it if she's clingy. It just shows how much she loves me

letssee89 · Answer

Depends on her age. Someone much younger or older than me, it's a bit of a turn on. If it's someone around my age, plus/minutes about four years, it is a bit of a turn off, but not a deal breaker if there's no other issues.

Anonymous · Answer

Nah it’s cute to me, but just not too much. I love my free time

I have encountered a few Clingons and I was ok with it. Probably because they kept pushing their tits against me. Just love the feeling of a soft tit pushing against me.
