His Girlfriend Is So Affectionate With Him That He Feels Suffocated And Annoyed
This 26-year-old guy has a girlfriend the same age as him, and they have known one another for around 2 years.
They started out hooking up, and then 6 months ago, they decided to begin an official relationship.
Now, their relationship is the most uncomplicated one he’s ever been in because his girlfriend is a great person.
“She’s not toxic, truly loves me, and has no major red flags,” he explained. “Which makes me feel even more guilty about this.”
“She’s a very affectionate person. In some ways, a little too affectionate. She always wants to be around, always together.”
“We’re living in the same house (due to circumstances), and she’s still never satisfied. She always wants to spend more time together, doing everything with me. Sleep, gym, TV, cooking, walks, shopping, weekends…literally everything we do, it’s together.”
On top of that, his girlfriend kisses and hugs him like crazy on a daily basis, without fail. They both work from home, and his girlfriend will visit him every 10 or 15 minutes just to say that she misses him.
He works in the room right next to her, so he doesn’t understand how she can be so clingy.
He never can have more than a couple of moments of time to himself. When they do go out, his girlfriend has to be touching him and as close as she can physically get.

“There’s no concept of personal space at all,” he said. “And it’s starting to really annoy me. It feels like sensory overload. Just the fact that someone is always SO CLOSE is becoming excruciatingly irritating.”
“To make things worse, she has no hobbies, and she doesn’t hang out with anyone else. So every minute of me doing my own thing is a minute where she’s not with me, which she’s not okay with.”
He has attempted to speak with his girlfriend about how he feels, and every time he brings it up, she gets upset with him.
She says this is the way that she demonstrates her love and accuses him of not being as interested in her. Somehow, his girlfriend believes he has to be “bored of her.”
He also mentioned to his girlfriend that personal space means a lot to him, but she will not hear this.
When she does say she will give him the space he needs, she sulks and acts unhappy, which makes him just give up.
“…I know it’s unfair to her,” he continued. “So many people would kill to have a girlfriend as loving as her, and I’m here feeling annoyed by it. Am I wrong in feeling this way? And how do I explain to her that I do love her, but I can’t be expected to live within an inch of someone else all the time?”
