I think it's very important to not be clingy in a relationship. For me it's all about finding the right balance so that your partner knows you're interested but they aren't getting suffocated by your clingy-ness. So here are some tips on how I try not to be clingy: 1. Let them text first. This is something that I try to do especially when I know the other person has a busy schedule or likes to sleep in. I usually just let them text/message me first when they are ready to do so. 2. Give them space. This can mean personal space. I know it's hard not to latch on to someone when you want to show them affection but it's important to know that it might be a bit overwhelming for the other person if you are constantly hanging on to them. So these are just two quick tips on how I try not to be clingy in a relationship. Do you have any tips on how not to be clingy in a relationship?

That is right.. I even let my husband had a regular boys night out, but that's only happen maybe once or twice in a year not very Friday night as any other boys.haha

Yeah I think it's all about finding a balance. I don't like to be controlling and I would like my partner to feel free to do things but when I was married it was a little ridiculous how much my ex would go out and party.

@Bellatricks doing party?Hahaha is he even aware that he was married already? Anyway their are really men who could be so self centered and insensitive. They say maybe it's egocentric.

@jndlponti I guess you can say that's part of the reason why me and him are not together anymore! lol! Some people just aren't ready for marriage yet.

Be busy, sometimes finding something worth doing will take our minds away from our partners and focus on the task at hand

it's important for us to have our 'me-time', let our partners have one too.
