    I think you are being too clingy. Guys are creatures who love thier freedom and don't like being tied down. When you check up on him or ask him to call or spends too much time with him, he'll start feeling suffocated and bothered. He may even start thinking about breaking it off since he doesn't feel the same joy he used to in a relationship.

    Being a relationship is about lifting your partner up, not tying him down. He will want to come back to you when he feels he has a choice to choose.

    Just last month I had a situation almost similar to this. I've been through it. What I did was, I gave him the time he needed to think and to do things he want to that he couldn't do when I was with him all the time. Now we are finally ok. He decided that he would still want to be with me and change himself in areas of which he wasn't doing well. After that incident, I never texted him unless he text me first. I never ask or get angry when he suddenly stops calling or texting me halfway because I believe he has stuff to do and I trust in him. I believed he he appreciates me more after that incident. In fact, he finds time to be with me, calls me out of the blues for no reason and ask me out more. He did that all on his own free decision. It's all more worth it now because I don't have to literally force him to hang out with me by clinging to him, he comes to me voluntarily. It's a wonderful feeling. you should try it.

    Whatever happens things will turn out ok in one way or another. Have faith.

    I actually don't blame him. Some girls just get on my nerves! They seriously can't stand on their own two feet without boy boy around!!

    But it still not a valid reason for him to stereotype. ;)

    Exactly. Especially when he put it in a way that it's a NORMAL WOMEN'S PERSONALITY to be clingy...:p

    And some men can be a pain, esp. when he always want to go shopping with the woman or meet her friends. Off course, men say it in a nicer way, "darling, i want to hang out with you and spend more time with you. i do not mind who you are hanging out with. I can tag along." Is just not we women, cling on men, men do the same too. And both partners can be independent too. My parents travel on their own with their own friends. And I myself do that too. There are so much out there, go enjoy life with each other. I know easier said than done. FINANCIAL problem is my biggest problem right now, LOVE can't put food on my table now.-lol

    Clingy behavior can kill relationships. Yes I would consider all that clingy.

    I'm sure this isn't your first offense either or else he wouldn't detach himself like that.

    I think that's right. But not depending on how long you've been dating, if this is the only incident and he said that, then I would be pissed off. Because he obviously doesn't get that you were worried about him.
