Would you date someone with separation anxiety?

[Anonymous]

Yes

No, but we could still be friends

No

No, I've run from that before. He was not okay with me gaming with my friends. Online, I don't even see them. In games you can create a group of players so you can play together regularly to take down some challenge. These are called guilds. Imagine joining a guild and you hate everyone, but you join to be with your girlfriend at all times and being jealous when she interacts with the other members in the guild when doing that group challenge.
Imagine having to be in a call with him all the time, to the point of having the call on when you both sleep.

I feel targeted on that last point lol. Though I have learned coping skills so that I don't have to have it to sleep anymore.

[Smoke-n-Growls]

No, I used to have it and it was terrible.

I'm personally not up for it. It leads to too many insecurities and too much maintenance and work.

Especially if the person doesn't want to deal with it and seek treatment, it's a definite and hard no.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Yes, it doesn't bother me, and I'd find that level of missing my company to be an endearing trait, I'd take her everywhere I went if she wanted, thats just more affection for me so I'd have no complaints.

I would never date a clingy woman ever again. I already had 2 of them when I was younger. My life was he'll. I couldn't do anything without her asking where I was.

[ChrisMaster69]

Greatly depends how bad it is.

i worked with a guy whose wife developed it after pregnancy, she could not stand him being at work away from him.

it was damaging his working life.

yes I could however depends how bad she has it.

[fonduegirl]

No. I'm a person with intimacy issues and I'd rather not drag them with me. It'd be very unfair of me.

[Whatever2929292]

Yea... You might say I am a little clingily so it would be nice to have someone else who is clingily. Really the only way a relationship works if someone is clingily is if you both are.

[hahahmm]

The problem is that when that other person does something horrible and you decide it's time to bail they will become a stalker. You're better off not being clingy too because it makes it harder for you to move on. In an ideal world being clingy wouldn't be bad because everyone would be with the right person and there'd be no need to break.

[Whatever2929292]

@hahahmm I see what you are saying and I don't mean that extreme either. Yea I mean when you are with the right person

[sheikalana]

I think that co-dependency is toxic. You need to be able to be away from your partner once in a while cuz that's eventually going to happen either you like it or not.

[Juxtapose]

So what? She can't stand to be alone? That's a huge red flag, I have never met a woman like that who was not a colossal pain in the ass. If they spend that much time with you they will get sick of you and point out your every flaw in their eyes.

[Blackcosmo]

Maybe but they could get some help which might lower their separation anxiety because having to deal with that would emotionally drain me.

[DaisyM23]

i think i like my own space too much and wouldn't emotionally be what they want

[jshm2]

You mean "your future stalker" as that is what the term means.

[IzzyH]

As a man with separation anxiety, I feel like I would finally truly be understood. We both would be going through the same thing and as long as there is (good) communication, then we could have each other's backs with it.

[Massageman]

Heck my dog had separation anxiety and we keep her.

[Jltakk]

Sure, as long as she's a cool person, don't see why not. I'm always texting back and forth and want company for my weird adventures

[Anonymous]

Maybe. It would depend on how severe their anxiety was.

[Kaneki05]

I would be a hypocrite not to.

[Luckycharms12]

Depends tbh how bad and full on it is

[Graci_e]

Yeah I would
