so basically i have a new bf, its like my first REAL relationship. yeah i like him a whole lot. my parents dont. he also calls me every day; like three times a day if i don't answer. which drives me crazy. i havent answered my phone all day, so maybe he'll get the clue that i dont need to talk to him EVERY SINGLE DAY. he's also hugely running up my cell phone bill. which my parents are going to kill me for when they find out. my mom also said something along the lines of dont you think your moving to fast, its like yesterday you were my baby and now your somebodys gf. i found this to be a little insulting. like thats all i was. anyway. i like him but i feel like hes smothering me, and i dont want to hurt his feelings. how can i get him to be less clingy, but hurt his feelings?

BitsandPieces answered Saturday April 14 2007, 9:37 pm: Tell him that you are upsetting your parents with all the time you spend on the phone and that if you get into trouble for it anymore, than they will take away all phone priviledges. He should only call once a day at the very most, or better yet, you and he should swap turns on who calls first. If he continues to smother you, it will damage the relationship and that would not be good, so be honest about your need for him to reduce the frequency of his calls and let that be that. No need to make it an emotional discussion, keep it simple and he can't get offended, unless he is a real control freak. [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]
