Today, my clingy girlfriend refused to leave me alone long enough for me to read an article about dealing with clingy girlfriends. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

Yes it is #1. Unfortunately, most people try to save relationships like this and end up getting hurt and frustrated. OP, if talking to her about it doesn't work, you may need to ask her if she would consider seeing a therapist. Sometimes unwillingness to be by oneself can mean insecurity because of a past situation. Good luck!

anyone else not see the 'a' and get really disturbed after seeing therapist?

#71 da faq?
LittleBastard 20
71 means, he's disturbed by "the rapist" in therapist. I'm not sure this is easily understandable.

Ask her to give you some space .

He probably did. Obviously that didn't work

2 things can occur here 1. She will accept the explanation and try her hardest not to be as clingy or 2. Things will fly out of control and she will be pissed off, and they will most likely separate.

Go to the bathroom, lock the door, and hide forever.

She can use a bobby pin to unlock the door and get in there.

Speaking from experience, #24?
kingdomgirl94 29
should be enough time to look up how to deal with her though... hopefully. If she's skilled enough to get it in a matter of seconds, OP has bigger problems than her being clingy...

I think she was going somewhere else with the lock yourself in the bathroom idea...

Well speaking in strictly Klingon, tell her to back off, separation is the only remedy here.

Stage five clinger

Stage five is nothing, I've dated a stage 6. This is a case of stage, dare I say it, stage 10.

#8 And people say that only men are douches in society
profligatesoul 18
I 100% agree with #8. Nothing douchey about that. Clingy girlfriend has got to go.

Only men are a tool to clean a girls ******?

I'm trying to go all day without texting her

Jeez, that sucks, I hate clingy girlfriends

I know, right? Why do they feel the need to be clingy? You don't have to be by your boyfriend's side all day. That's why I usually watch my boyfriend from a distance and try to keep my presence unknown.
DaTerrier 7
Yes, it's a delicate balance between being to clingy and being to distant, you have to be able to trust your partner in a relationship. Not shadow them wherever they go.

That's called stalking and that's kinda creepy #DrownedMyFish

Of course, everyone knows that if you want to be a stalker in a relationship, you can't let the other person know. So spy on them with binoculars from a distance, it's foolproof.
