Independence in Relationships

Before my husband and I got married in 2002, I used to call him the "cling on". Not because I didn't love him, but because he indeed wanted to spend every spare minute with me. I was both annoyed at first, and flattered, but mainly annoyed. Somehow, it grew to the point I indeed loved him just as much, and then we were married. 6 years down the road, and we are still very much in love. I took my first vacation to Cali recently without him, for two weeks. you know it is true,absence makes the heart grow fonder. We have never regretted spending so much time getting to know each others habits during our dating phase. it was a little odd, but not uncommon. I can understand what you are going through to a point though, and I think everyone needs either an all girls night out, or a guys night out. Just explain this to your Girlfriend.

I've been married for 12yrs now. At first my husband was really clingy and I finally fessed up that I needed to do some things on my own. He was really relieved since he was always afraid to disappoint me by telling me he wanted to spend time with his guy friends. I think that is what has helped our marraige last that we have both kept our intrest eventhough we now have 5 kids. You really need to let your girlfriend know that and tell her that she can do her own thing also. Be careful on how you say it though sometimes things don't come out quite right after being said choose your words carefully

I think you should tell to partner about how you feel. You should have an extra time doing what you like.
