I need a man that can accept that i am clingy. If he complains, then i will.not hesitate to walk away. I have a lot to offer as a woman. All or nothing if he can't provide or satisfy my clinginess then go find someone else or be alone. That's my piece.

[@tigerpaws111]

Most of this is subconcious so most aren't aware or they don't know how a woman feels from her perspective because they aren't women and don't have anything to compare it to as they have always delt with things that way. Understanding how both genders work really helps. But both partners need to have the knowledge to make it work and communicate with each other and sadly a lot don't. It does get better with age and experience I feel though. Some men never grow up 😂

[@Liz-in8lu]

[@IevaKambarovaite]

Distance does wonders. That's why women need to have girfriends and a support system they can talk to about what bothers them. You can't just be dumping everything on a man.. He can't be your therapist, your girfriend, your lover, your support system, your playmate etc,

I have been dating my boyfriend for over a year now. I didn’t realize he needed space. I am pretty much an anxious person and love being around him. I noticed over the summer that he started pulling away at times and said it wasn’t me. Until recently, I didn’t realize that space was his way of recharging. I am still learning how to give him space without feeling sad or anxious 😬

[@AudreyLuerding]

Its completely normal to have an anxious attachment style. Im the same way a lot of people experience this. The best piece of advice i can give is to find things to do without him before he has to ask for space. It is a game changer. I love him actually texting me and trying to figure out what i’m doing instead of texting him and blowing up his phone. It helps keep the spark alive in a relationship for sure. I hang with friends, family, get my nails done, workout, etc and its perfect for giving him space to strengthen the relationship.

[@kristinej.4182]

This is such valuable information and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Just last weekend I experienced something that I was confused about but now have clarity on. My BF and I were enjoying a peaceful morning but then sensed that he was a little distant… not as affectionate or attentive and I was a little irritated wondering to myself - “what’s his problem?” Well I just let him be and did my thing but later that afternoon he gave me the biggest hug and thanked me for being so understanding. I was like for what? lol It turned out that he had gotten a message from work that really bothered him but kept it inside trying to resolve the issue unbeknownst to me. Wish he had expressed his problem to me at the time but he said he didn't want to burden me with his work stuff. I learned a lot from this video. Space is important and my guy having it does not mean he’s going to lose interest but rather get more from it. Very interesting… Thank you.

[@jenniferfratangelo5239]

[@lolasaysyes]

This is why guys who have unreciprocated feelings for you are so resilient and hard to get rid of… you create space simply because you’re not trying to treat them as relationship material! Agree that while everyone needs space, men seem to be wired slightly differently in this regard. Either way, it’s always good to give space, but know when to follow up at the right time.

[@aubergine-y2c]

it would be helpful to add for how long period of time should a woman tolerate that man needs space. I was ignored and/or treated poorly for the whole two months of his new work. so if he was not worry to put himself in the position to lose me, I don't believe it was ever love from his side.

You're writing about boys as written by you. That's the difference. Brian is talking about man and a healthy distance what is something totally different. I'm happy married because my husband is a man, not a boy. He's by my side in good and bad times. And he discusses also the things that bother him. But he needs space for his hobbies aswell as I need space for myself. First thing is to sorted out all boys and get a real man. Personally I need to heal first and stop running after the wrong guys. Have boundaries and keep them.

[@sept2866]

Wow, lots of bitter responses here😮

[@krazykirl1129]

Space is good to process things, sometimes, if you have all the information you need, but there needs to be a team effort as well. People keep saying men are different. Actually they're not. What you're mentioning here are different levels of communication that are lacking in the skills it takes to have a relationship. A team player doesn't need space, they need good communication skills. Being in a relationship is a team effort. Imagine being in a relationship and every time there's an issue you need space? If it's a massive problem then that person needs more space. No, they need solutions and commitment.

[@truerosie]

No. Space is essential for everyone. So are communication and relationship skills. I'm a woman and if I don't have space I'm out of the relationship, it's like air to me and to many other people.

[@rickmoody9258]

As someone who has been married for over a decade, I can say that the general assumptions that women are clingy and need constant interaction is inaccurate. As the female who needs ample space and that gets anxiety from the thought of excessive attention, I can say that not all women fit into a singular personality type. In addition, two people that enjoy space can also be problematic. I struggle connecting and expressing emotion so it is odd having a male counterpart requesting affection. 😂

[@jessicafb5398]

Space is the opposite of emotional connection. A certain amount of space is healthy in a relationship. Too little space, and people will feel smothered and a loss of independence. Too much space and there will be a lack of connection. An avoidant man will crave too much space. The key is to date a securely attached man and not date an avoidant man. And also to become securely attached oneself. Also, a partner should be able to communicate their needs to each other. If either partner needs more space, they should communicate this to their partner, rather than just pulling away and not saying anything. Again, the later would be considered an avoidant attachment behavior, and would decrease feelings of safety and security in a relationship. Space is healthy. Too much space creates disconnection.

[@Afarsekk]

I feel the same way

[@brittnyy113]

WOW!! I needed this! Going through this right now.... my guy has been more distant and shutting down with me after sex and whenever a new stressor arises.... causing me to push more into him and want to love him more. But that's not working. Currently Giving him lots of space and hoping he works on his issues effectively ❤

[@kimlarge4077]

Yes, leave him alone. Go radio silence on his ass. He WILL come back. This is hard to do but act like you don't care, it works in a way for him to realize he misses you and loves you. Plus, he will think you are making memories with another man. He won't like that and will come to you. Don't stress girl. He will come back to you. A girlfriend doesn't need to be doing a wife's work on a girlfriend pay.

[@ba8501]

Yes, I agree definitely do the opposite. Focus on yourself and do your own thing. Don't even mention any of those issues. Just carry on as normal, like you don't really care about it. He will come back around. Don't push it. It will make him run further away from you.

[@iwantabiscuitplz]

I wouldn't be able to put up with that behaviour. Props to you for being able to handle it, but I do think he needs to deal with his problems in a way that doesn't hurt you.

[@Hesteforstanddk]

2 things are not addressed here. Being clingy is not a decision or a strategy. It comes from an empty and very lonely sensation. Usually from childhood neglect or trauma. It might be uncontrollable. I have trained myself to not showing when I feel the urge to cling. I have never given up my own stuff for any man. He hears more from me when I feel good than when I want to cling. However he senses it anyway an pulls back. Without being able to tell why. Another thing is that clingy (ambivalent attachment style) tend to like avoidant men and vice versa. This reinforces the pattern. If i was able to stop being clingy or feeling the urge to cling i would probably attract non-avoidant men. So just tell me how to stop the need for clinging. Instead of just saying i should stop it. I can stop the actions. According to men I have been with i do this very well but I have not yet been able to remove the urge.

[@quietreader4190]

I have the same attachment style you do it sounds like (anxious), from childhood neglect... not intentional neglect however there was just certain situations going on around me and certain people that took higher priority that my own needs. Despite all of that, and knowing what caused my childhood issues the anxious stuff is something I still deal with. It all goes back to childhood, and what you were exposed to and how your parents and/or caregivers responded to and met (or in our cases did not meet) your needs and how you were treated as a child. The urge to cling stems from your parents not being at all available to meet your needs, to maybe being available and not being available to meet your needs and its deeply wounding to us as children and the trauma from that becomes deeply ingrained within us. There is no easy fix to that, in fact its something we will deal with for the rest of our lives. With therapy and/or self-help you can do a lot though, but it will take time and willpower to face what you went through as a child, and learn healthy ways to cope and manage your anxious attachment style. I didn't ever go to the therapist but I've done a lot of self work over the last 10 years. As I said, its something we will deal with for the rest of our lives. The urge to cling is the worst to deal with, because it comes from the abandonment we felt as children and the fact we could never trust our parents and/or caregivers to be there when we needed them to be so we formed this need to cling to them to show them that we were there in a bid for attention, love, and care. There is a lot of stuff you can do to help manage your anxious attachment style as you might learn, and it may include learning about inner child work and re-parenting techniques. When you feel the urge to cling, that's a trauma response coming from your inner child and it's your inner child screaming for the attention that our parents/caregivers didn't give us, so now its up to us as adults to deal with the mess through self help and/or therapy, which may include learning about our inner child and finding ways to soothe them through re-parenting techniques. I know you can work through it, and find ways to manage your anxious attachment style just like I have. What effected us in childhood wounded us deeply, it's unfortunately something you and your brain cannot forget and it became basically wired into our brains to react in certain ways and one of those ways is "the urge to cling".

Some relationships have reached their expiration date ..but we still want to recycle we need to feel the pain heal our wounds , improve where we are lacking ,, learn the lesson from the experience and then the right patner will come around ..you will only believe this if you are in your authencity but most people want their toxic ex back..and some are even willing to do magic love spells to bring back or prevent them from leaving ..
