Dating a man that is needy and clingy?

Its common to believe that needy and clingby behavior only happens in women but that is so untrue. The man that you are dating can be needy and clingy too – it happens as much in men as it does in women. Insecure about your relationship he can become overly protective or wanting to know where you are going and who you are seeing.

So what do you do if you are dating a man that is needy and clingy?

There is nothing you can do! It is not your problem, it’s his. This is about him sorting out what past emotional baggage he has that is making him behave that way. Maybe he has had an ex girlfriend cheat on him so now he worries about that. Or maybe he was raised without attention and doesn’t feel safe unless he knows you love and adore him every hour of the day!

Whatever is going on you can certainly sit down and see if he will discuss it and if he doesn’t you are certainly within your rights to talk about how his behavior makes you feel (always remember it is NOT HIM – but his behaviour!) but outside of that he really needs to deal with whatever issues are going on for him.

Oh and by the way….. if you are needy and clingy then you need to sort yourself out too!
