Would you leave your romantic partner if they were clingy, and what's wrong with being clingy?

[Warmapplecrumble]

I couldn't really find a proper meaning of clingy, but I think it just means someone who wants to spend majority of their time with you. I personally think that is very sweet ♥ however, I see a lot of people think its a major issue and would like to understand :-). Thanks!

[foriWish]

I'm clingy myself, even though I mostly don't act on it. If I'm being completely honest, I'm kind of afraid I'll look desperate so I keep my super-like to myself unless I trust the guy. Plus, the heart doesn't lie so... I have always been told (online) how bad it was so, of course, I want to change it because I don't want to put my partner in a situation where it seems as if he didn't want to spend time with me. I can't really help it though, I can just not act on it because I have major self-control.

To answer your question though, I would never leave my romantic partner for being clingy. I would actually love the fact that he loves spending so much time with me. , However, I would worry that maybe it isn't so healthy considering spending so much time with someone, maybe someone will get tired of the other person.

Thanks for MHO :)

[mooky06]

I would love to have a clingy partner. I feel like i’m clingy in that sort of way too :)

[mooky06]

Thank you for MH :)

[Warmapplecrumble]

You are welcome ♥ :-)

I'd actually like it having a clingy girlfriend. Not the type that wants to call/text too much, but I would like the type that is like in those pictures always holding onto me and staying close. I like physically clingy, and to spend time together. It is just on days when I work I don't want to talk to people too much once I am off work. Of course that would be a little different once I lived with her. And she could stick to me like glue physically. I'd actually like it.
And I want someone that is interested in some of the same things/hobbies I am so we could enjoy spending more time together more often too.

[MrHopper]

Depends on things, I like my own time so I would still need that. But clingy is fine

[MrHopper]

Thanks for mho female me

[Warmapplecrumble]

You are welcome male me :-D lol

Being clingy it's not really a good thing in a healthy relationship. A person who is clingy is usually incapable of functioning on their own and constantly has to be reassured by attaching themselves to someone else that everything is okay. The person being clung on to however feels like their movements are not only being constricted but that their partner is in fact in adequately equipped to function as their significant other, and instead seems to be better suited for the role of a little sibling, or kid.

[YetiG]

The clingier the better in my opinion
If a gal likes me enough to want to never leave my side both physically and communication wise, it'd be really endearing.
But maybe I'm just clingy as well.

[Clarke510]

Being clingy isn't bad, but it does depend on how clingy.
Like cuddling every night is one thing but complaining if you shower alone is another.

[Clarke510]

Also I promise I'm not stalking you 😅

[Warmapplecrumble]

Why is having a shower with a woman clingy? Whats wrong with that?

[Clarke510]

Its not showering together that's clingy, it's complaining if they shower alone because you wanted to shower with them again and not letting them have their own time.

Or complaining if they are spending time with a friend instead of spending all their time with you.

[Warmapplecrumble]

Why is a friend more important than the spouse.

[Clarke510]

They aren't
But 10% of your time with a friend and 10% on your own and the other 80% with a spouse seems a bit more reasonable.
Therefore it's unreasonable for the spouse to get mad because she wants that 10%

[Warmapplecrumble]

No I'd give 100 percent to my spouse whos been there for me unlike so called friends.

[Clarke510]

I think spending all your time with one person and not having other friends is a bit unhealthy.
I personally have had a partner that was a bit possessive of my time
Even if I'd include her in everything, she'd get mad if I talked to them but got over it eventually.

[Warmapplecrumble]

Me and my husband only invest time with each other and sometimes family. We don't have friends.

[Clarke510]

I have very few people that I'd call real friends and they are good and understanding people.
If a partner can't accept them, there is something wrong with that partner.

[Warmapplecrumble]

Me and my husband wouldn't ever put any other friend over our relationship. We are each others best friends. We have done stuff when no one was there for us.

But thats your choice on what you find more important.

[Clarke510]

That's a fair enough way to look at it, but I've had girls come and go.
Quite frankly I trust them more than any partner so far.
I hope that changes one day

[Warmapplecrumble]

My most major requirement after my ex was being a priority in the relationship. I give my 100 percent so Id like 100 percent back. And I can't be with a guy who'd put his friends for me.. I left my entire culture everything to be with my husband.

[Clarke510]

Different lives I guess.
Personally 100% of my time with someone is a bit much.
I don't mind some time apart to showering alone or playing a video game solo etc

[Warmapplecrumble]

I don't think I spend 100 percent of my time with my husband. Lol. But I wouldn't mind at all if I did. And I guess everyones different :-)

[Clarke510]

Yeah that's all good.
Some people are like that but sometimes I need to have some time to me.
I don't mind sharing that time with a partner, just not accommodating them specifically.

[Warmapplecrumble]

I understand :-) I guess we have different ways of thinking.

[Clarke510]

And that's completely okay

[luvstoned4him]

I won't but even I have a limit to what I can tolerate.

Wanting to go everywhere with me is a big NO

Expecting me to text them for he's while at work another NO

[motownplayer2000]

Not without multiple warnings and conversations.

Being clingy isn't apart of a healthy relationship. It shows you can't take care of yourself and the tendency to have your whole emotional and mental shattered if anything happened. It's not healthy

[nerms123]

I like clingers but not stage five clingers. I’m stage four and he needs to be three or four.

[Fastest-route]

Clingy is often do to the treatment inducing felon phobia this makes a woman always seeking The One and Clinging to him.

[SarahsSummer]

Most well adjusted people need alone time, space and a degree of freedom

[PondyPand]

Being clingy can lead to physcotic, obsessive and stalker behaviour.

[DiegoO]

If they were extremely clingy, I would speak first about it, and she gets upset and start acting distant for how I feel, I would start to think she has to grow the fuck up.

[DiegoO]

Beside thinking I am in the wrong relationship. If it continued for long I would leave.

[icedragoom]

Na I like it if my girl was clingy makes happy to know I am always on her mind

[eshedd]

Nope! Not one bit! I wouldn’t mind a girl who’s clingy at all

[Drumlin2001]

I'm a clingy person in some respects. Ex didn't appreciate it, current girlfriend seems to like it

[pizzalovershouse]

usely it's due to family oroblems but if they can't get help for it then you have to move on if it hurts you

[Methis]

As long as it does border obsession, clingy is ok and alittle positive (she would be less likely to cheat)

[G_oogle_Y_i_ndians_r]

Girls in India are just family oriented. They are NOT clingy at all

[dudeinohio]

I think it's ok to be clingy.

[bhavy24]

Being clingy is not a problem with me

[Nachowedgie]

Nope
