My boyfriend is clingy all of a sudden what happened?

[kareenakapur]

im not against it just am confused why he's clingy all of a sudden.

Hmm that is kinda weird that he's suddenly all clingy like that outta nowhere. A few things it could be I guess. One, maybe he's worried you'll find someone else and dump him so he's like trying extra hard to keep you close so that doesn't happen. Or two, it's possible something else is goin on with him and he just really wants your support. Like maybe he's stressed about school or family stuff or something.

I'd just talk to him man to man (well, more like boy to girl haha) and see what's up. Maybe reassure him you ain't going nowhere so he doesn't need to be so clingy. But also let him know you still need your own space and me time with your friends and stuff. Compromise is key, ya know? If he still won't cut it out after you talked, then I'd be worried somethin else is bugging him. But give it a chance first maybe he just going through something and doesn't realize he's smothering you. Hope you guys can work it out! Let me know what happens.

what do you think could be another something else? Thing is I used to be super clingy that's why im so conf why he is all of a sudden

[Oliverlogan263]

Hmm another possibility could be that he's mirroring your past clinginess now for some reason. Like maybe seeing how much you used to want to be attached at the hip made him realize he likes that feeling too. So now he wants to experience it from his end. Could also be that being with someone very affectionate/clingy in the past has just kind of shaped his love language now to also be more on the affectionate side. Some other potential reasons that come to mind:

- Maybe he's been missing you more since you've both been busier lately and wants to make up for lost time being together.

- Could be going through some stressful anxiety/depression and your affection helps comfort him.

- Possibly feeling emotionally vulnerable after an argument or hard time recently.

- Might be clinging as a way to distract from his own insecurities or worries by focusing on you.

Who knows, guys can be weird and mysterious! I'd try not to overthink it too much unless it becomes a problem. Communication is key like I said before to figure out what's really up. But don't feel like you did something wrong to cause it either.

Lmfao I'm not usually one to tell other people how to live their lives, but you might want to break up to preserve your sanity. This is WAY too much drama for a month-old relationship

I don't know, guys do that when they feel guilty all of a sudden or there boys said something like she’s too good for you and now he has anxiety

[FarmBoy13]

How long have you been together? Believe me it can take awhile for a guy to truly fall in love so maybe he finally has hit that point

[kareenakapur]

6 months

[FarmBoy13]

Yeah so he probably finally fully fell in love with you. He might have said it before but now it’s where his heart is

[Jerre]

Perhaps he now knows you like it. Ask him why.

[LiamS95]

He's afraid of losing you.

[LiamJHayden]

Ask him.
