    Confused! Need Help!

    Okay you may have seen my previous post about pushing my boyfriend away, encase you haven't, long story short, I am needy, clingy, insecure blah blah blah basically getting on his nerves. Well i went to his today to talk calmly to him. As I went to leave he hugged me so I kissed him.
    He then text me later saying he didn't feel anything and that he may of lost his feelings for me.
    Bearing in mind I have been with him 2 years this September
    Is this the end of our relationship or can he regain his feelings?

    Anything's possible but if I were you, I'd work on building my self-worth and confidence and figure out why I'm so clingly and have such fear of abandonment. You are self-sabotaging your relationship(s) to the point that what you fear most becomes a self-induced prophecy.

    Have you actually broken up or is he just giving you some sort of heads up about his lack of "feelings" when he kissed you?

    I am working on it and I know why I am clingy etc... I've told him that. And not yet but he is thinking about it

    Leave him be and let him come to you when he is ready. Perhaps if you give him a chance to miss you and show him that you can live without clinging to his pant leg then he'll regain some of the emotion that he had for you. Only time will tell.

    Prove to him that you're not a clingon.

    I agree. But TELL him you are going to leave him alone and you want him to make the next move when he is ready. Don't just ignore him. If you do that, he'll know it's over for sure.

    This is good advice ^^^ you must first tell someone that you are giving them space.

    Maybe this is for the best? If you are clingy/needy then maybe there are issues that you need to work out before you can be in a relationship? OR maybe this guy just doesn't appreciate your affection! Regardless, if you think that you are clingy, then work on it. Just give him his space.

    This may or may not be the end of your relationship, it can honestly go either way so don't be too distressed over possibly losing him forever. Hopefully he'll come to his senses.

    I understand, I too use to be very clingy and needy. I have came around and noticed how bad I was when I was young. I am so much better now that I have realized it. Its good that you see you need to change for yourself. You need to come to terms with your self and love YOU before anyone. I would give him space, I know that will be hard but you need to in order to have some kind of relationship. If he doesn't want to work on it down the road then move on show him you have grown. Dont be there and become clingy again because he will stop trying all together. Just work on you.
