Well you could do what I DID For clingy guys

First sit him down and make him listen ( No tv,no friends) and tell him " Look, I like you but I need you to stop being clingy, I can not breathe in this relationship and if it does not stop, I am leaving" Or around those lines

Basucally tell him how you feel, if you want to save it tell him there is hope ... if not RUN ... Run like forrest gump ... I wanted to end it so I told him he was killing me, and I wanted out and I left him with a kiss on the cheek and drove off. But Talk to him, most guys do that because they don;t realize it bothering you, and two they don;t want to lose you.

If its a break up make it sound like it, if not, then make sure he does not think it is ( Do not use WE need to talk) That's break up stuff.

but make sure he understands what you are saying a lot of times guys don;t listen and it does no good... and make sure he is cool with it ...

what has he been doing to be called clingy?

HEY, I've been there! RUNAWAY. I dated a 18 year old when I was 21. scary sh*t. stalkerish, paranoid, emotional rollercoasters gallore. plus at that point he was still to dependent on his parents. Dated him for almost 2 years and it never got better, if anything he just tried to become more possesive. Two gfs later he was still txting me so I say you need to get out if you're not feeling it. If you do want to keep him sit him down and have a talk, if he's not getting better, leave

Oh boy that's not good . but I'm almost positive he's not gonna kill himself.. he's just trying to make you stay with him by using guilt on you. that's wrong! you should stay because you make each other happy, nothing else. go with your gut

Well, psycho how? If you mean he's becoming extremely possessive and jealous, and trying to cut you off from friends/family, then I would suggest leaving him, preferably in place with people not necessarily in sight but near enough to hear yelling, because those are classic signs of an abusive guy. If You just mean he's hugging you too much and getting too close and such, then talk to him, let him know he's making you uncomfortable. Hope this helps!

I was going to write about talking to him, but I see he is too strange for that.

Please tell me you aren't still with him!
