Dear Abby: Clingy Girlfriend’s Behavior Could Be an Annoying Red Flag
UNITED STATES, JUL 24 – A 47-year-old man questions if his girlfriend's frequent crying and strong need for constant togetherness are typical in new relationships, three months in and nearing divorce.
- A man aged 47, just under three weeks away from finalizing his divorce, has been in a relationship for three months with a woman he has known for 26 years.
- They love each other and plan to be married, but the man is not in a marriage frame of mind until they are officially wed.
- The woman expresses strong emotional dependence, saying she has a tough time and cries when he is not around, insisting they need to be together all the time.
- Advice cautions that her statements may seem devoted but might also signal a red flag, recommending premarital counseling before advancing beyond a warm friendship.
- This situation suggests the potential for smothering behavior if her discomfort at being apart increases, implying the importance of clear communication and counseling before marriage.
