My clingy boyfriend gives me no space and I’m falling out—what now?

[Anonymous]

Recently I got into a relationship with a guy he loves me but he's very clingy n obsessed like he expects me to talk to him 24/7 and also want me to tell him everything and I do not get time for other activities due to this at first i tried to adjust but now I'm just getting bored n irritated I do not want to talk to him I have explained it to him but he's still the same he doesn't want to break up too he cries n get panic attacks if I say that but the thing is I'm falling out I don't know who is at fault here i tried communication but clearly he's just validating his own feelings and I'm getting irritated.

You just have different views on how you want relationships to work. He wants to do everything together 24/7 and you don't so ultimately there is no chance of it working out when you view them so differently.

You need to be more firm. If he still refuses to listen, for your own mental health to need to break up with him. Clearly he’s not mature enough to handle having a serious girlfriend.

That’s problematic behaviour. I can’t see this being beneficial for you in the long run.

My aim on GAG is to help you untangle messy love stuff without losing your mind… or your standards 😉

Your boyfriend’s behavior is emotional dependence, not love. Extreme clinginess, panic attacks at breakup talk, demanding 24/7 access = big red flags, borderline lovebombing turned control.

You’re not at fault for falling out of love. You set a boundary, he ignored it. That’s disrespect.

Be kind but firm: “This isn’t working for me, I’m ending it.” His emotions are his responsibility, not your prison. If needed, block and go no-contact. Your peace > his obsession.

It is the clingy guys who you read about. They will kill you before they let others have you. Lose this guy by any means possible.
