Is a long distance relationship with a clingy girlfriend worth it?.
Question Posted Sunday October 24 2010, 2:18 pm
I have been with a long distance girlfriend for 9 months. I really love her but, she seems to be too clingy. She expects me to talk to her 24/7 and if i don't, even for less than an hour, she will flip out and not wanna talk to me for the rest of the day/night. She will talk to me again the next day though so its alright i guess. She doesn't have any trust in what i do, because she found out i lied to her about a small thing to go out and that's the problem. I'm trapped in my house, with no time to go out with friends, or even go out just by myself. She keeps me stuck in my room, and i barely even see her. If she was with me every second i would be okay. I'm sick of just staying home alone all day and not getting to do what i love to do. I know she loves me but it's getting real hard to handle. In my opinion a relationship should not sacrifice this much of my normal life. I don't want to break up with her because she's the only person i have to talk to, and she's beautiful, kind, caring, and respectful. Why is she so clingy yet 200 miles away? Should I break up with her? I could probably find someone better and much closer. But i don't want to break her heart and I'm really trying to stay with her forever.
thank you

If she isn't allowing you to do the things you love, or she's controlling your life this much, then she is not the one that you want to be with. And if you have problems finding someone to talk to, just find someone that you pass on the street and say hello, but not in the creeper way. Just talk to someone, you just might meet your next girlfriend or a new friend. As for the kind, caring and respectful part? If she really were all that, she would let you live your own life. I don't mean to get down on the girl you love, but she doesn't seem to be the one that would be good for you. And as a last point, you should never have to TRY to stay with someone. Yes, when you get into a fight, it will take work, but you should never stay in a relationship for the other person or because you feel like you have to. You have to be happy, too. In reality, everything I just said has nothing to do with your choice: you have to make the right choice for YOU. I really hope you do. Please, let me know how it works. Good luck.
