There is nothing more annoying than a guy who is constantly texting, calling, indulging in too much PDA and, worst of all, wanting to hang out with you all the time. Here’s how to deal with him… If you think that your boyfriend is worth the effort, try and address his deep-seated insecurities that make him so needy. Be there when he needs you and be generous with your love and appreciation. Warning: You might have just signed up to be his lifetime counsellor.

TELL HIM TO LAY OFF

Tell your guy in plain terms that you need your space. Make him understand that while you appreciate all the love he's throwing your way, you would still prefer to go out with your friends without him tagging along all the time. Let him know how suffocated you feel.

ENCOURAGE HIM TO HAVE HIS OWN LIFE

Push him to hang out with his own friends. Fix up ‘dates’ for him with his guy gang or get him surprise tickets for a cricket match with his buddies. If all this fails get him the latest gizmo that will, hopefully, be more interesting than you!

SET BOUNDARIES

Just because he is clingy does not mean that he can’t be for keeps. However, for this thing to work, you will have to make him understand that his neediness is pushing you away. He has to respect your independence, space and a life that does not revolve around him. Be firm right from the outset that you will not accept interference in your personal space.

ASK YOURSELF IF YOU ARE INTO HIM

Before you go all ballistic on him for being too clingy, ask yourself truthfully if he really is as needy as you think he is or do you find him so annoying because you aren't really into him. Do you find his presence so irksome because you can't bear to spend time with him? In that case, be fair to him and end the relationship.

We can all struggle from time to time to name our needs, especially when it comes to relationships. Sometimes there's a people-pleasing, conflict-avoidant instinct that makes us keep our true feelings to ourselves. In other cases, you may be so used to doing things on your own that it's difficult to reach out for and accept support from others. But part of being a good boyfriend and a good partner in general is being able to lean on, confide in, and be vulnerable with the person you love. When we hold our cards too close to our chest, we lose out on building true intimacy and trust in our relationship. Open up about what you want more and less of in the relationship, and allow your partner to show up for you just like you show up for them.
