Today, my clingy girlfriend refused to leave me alone long enough for me to read an article about dealing with clingy girlfriends. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend tearfully complained that I was smothering her to death with my clinginess, and that I should learn to respect her boundaries. This is after she complained I wasn't giving her enough attention. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me for being "too clingy". I haven't seen her in over 3 weeks and texted her first once. Guess that's still too much for her. FML
Today, I got rear-ended because my ultra-clingy girlfriend wouldn't let go of my hand long enough for me to shift gears. FML
Today, my girlfriend of over a year broke up with me. Two weeks ago she complained that I didn't act like I really loved her. I then became more involved and caring just for her to show my love. The reason she broke up with me? Because I was "suffocating her with clinginess." FML
Today, my girlfriend berated me for my "lack of communication skills", all while deeply engrossed with something on her phone. FML
Today, I have accepted that if I try to spend time with my girlfriend, she will come up with any excuse to avoid me, but when I want to do something by myself, she will be at my elbow every ten seconds, loudly whining that she wants to spend time together and that I'm mean. Talking has yet to fix anything. FML
Today, I dumped my girlfriend because she frequently wouldn't answer my texts or phone calls, and not call or message back for days. I felt that bringing it up made me a control freak. I couldn't take it anymore. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I loved him. His response? "Is that why you have been so clingy and annoying lately?" FML
Today, I wrote "I love you" on my girlfriend's Facebook wall. She completely freaked out and accused me of being "too clingy" and that I'm starting to feel more like a stalker than a boyfriend. FML
Today, I wanted to spend some time with my girl, but she was more interested in her phone and 90 Day Fiancé. Bored, I went to play video games. Ten minutes later, she came looking for me and yelled that I clearly prefer video games to her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sucks being a Star Trek fan that you have to deal with your very own Klingon.

Unless you want a warden for a girlfriend dump her sooner than later. This is her problem so don't make it yours. She's only going to get more possessive as time goes on because she is perpetually insecure. Nothing you do will ever be enough to reassure her.

Isn't usually working on a problem first a good thing? I'm glad my husband didn't think like that. He would have been long gone when I was diagnosed bipolar instead of supporting me while I doughty treatment and got better. And if I thought like that, I would have ditched when I heard OCD. Working through these issues together can make a relationship stronger and healthier.

Medical problems like that are very different. A clingy girlfriend, when confronted, might back off, but also might get more possessive, and the behaviour can become obsessive, stalkerish or even escalate to physical violence.

Invest in a squirt gun. You know... like the one people have for cats.

Kick her to the curb

Reverse the role. Cling to her at the brief moments she stops being clingy to you. It might not seem to work, but she will add you for some space, and then everything is good

A measured response would be . . . Kill her. I'm only joking, or am I?. Being clingy will lead to jealousy, make a stand now and talk to her about the issue. If no improvement then maybe time to let her down gently and move on. Food for thought

Maybe you should have invited her to read it with you. She might have gotten the hint.

They need a "how to deal with clingy boyfriends" section

And then you dumped her and talked about it at your mutual workplace?
