Unhealthy relationship hahah
She’s only pretending, at some point you’ll be amazed at what you see, she’ll leave you and get along with her new catch like she have never met you before

You’ll be depressed at their level of pretentious nature

God bless you brother. I'm very shocked how you know this. This exact example happened to me this year. Today we are worse enemies

Bro, if this is true, pls enjoy it while it lasts. She loves you. Your presence counts alot in her life. Like me for example, I've been married for the past 8 years, my wife never cuddle me for a day after our marriage. She has changed. So, enjoy it while it last bro
There is nothing to enjoy with such people. It is a form of mental disorder. I think dependant whatever disorder and oh my, you need not be in a shoe of that guy. They have problem holding a relationship cos it is suffocating. Heaven help you, you don't give them as thru want it, they will drive you crazy.

A colleague suffers from such. She has problem keeping relationship. I noticed early when she was coming close to me and will make up any excuse not to relate with her beyond work.

Her boyfriend has to go to her mum to facilitate break up. And celebrated his freedom cheesy
A lovely lady but good to like her from afar.
She was diagnosed anyway but not on medication.
Heard sometimes, it's childhood trauma.

I know we say Nigerian girls are not worth the stress because they go still do rubbish, you see this your girl, she has given you her all, she loves you too much and its becoming obsession, just sit her down while cuddling her and try to make her understand why she should reduce the way she always follow you around, reason that it makes you miss her too much when she's not around and it makes you not able to do certain things without her, she go dey smile like mumu, just whine her laidat she go reduce am without getting offended 😂
I am currently battling with one so I will use this your scope on her.

Mine even call every 10mins even when I am at work or just finished talking. When I pick d call, she has nothing to say, it's either repetition or I will be d one to force her to talk.

I felt God is punishing me using that relationship. Such a mental torture!!!!

Hmm!
She's clingy, which can be sweet and irritating sometimes, but when you add jealousy to it, it turns to obsession, which can be a tragic disaster.
It's not too late to set some boundaries.

Haba, use Google if you can. Every action is not always about us, versus them.
It's called dependent personality disorder.
Gosh, Nigerians and quick conclusions like they are experts in such matters.

Hello Nairalanders

Please I need your advice on a pressing issue.

I love my girlfriend so much, and to a certain degree, I'm convinced it is reciprocal.

But sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the way she's all over me. There is this three seater sofa in my sitting room that looks older than the other sofas, despite the fact that they were all bought and brought in the same day. This is because I dare not sit elsewhere aside with her on that particular sofa. if I do, I'm calling for a fight. She's always wanting to be in a cuddle with me.

In the bedroom, our bodies must touch. If I stand up to the restroom to ease myself or do the other, if I'm not back within a short period of time, she's either calling out from the room, or coming to the bathroom to check what's up.

She literally follows me everywhere. To buy fuel, cut my hair, get something across the street, pick something from the car, you name it, the list is endless.

This has affected me that, in the rare moments that we are not together, probably when she's visiting her parents. I walk around like a zombie. Sometimes I'll do something as wierd as going to the closet to smell her clothes.

Something happened this morning, that actually called for the creation of this topic.

We were in the bedroom and she was sleeping, so I stood up to ease myself and get something from the fridge. What I wanted to get was stuck, so I left the fridge open to melt down the ice a little. Which I waited, I sat on one of the sofas, and was surfing the web on my phone, just to kill time. Less than 3 minutes later, I heard the bedroom door open, I jumped up and quickly dropped my phone, and started busying myself with trying to get the content from the fridge. She caught me and started laughing.

I was so angry because it's not as if she had caught me cheating or doing something actually wrong. I felt like an !diot for letting it get to the stage where it feels like I'm scared of her. I told her it wasn't funny and when she tried to hold me, I felt irritated and asked her to leave me alone.
She got angry and left me in annoyance.

I want to talk to her later, basically to let her know how i feel and probably find a nice way to tell her to be easy on the 'hovering'. Because it now feels as if I'm being choked or something.

She's giving you all the attention and loyalty na problem. She's not giving much attention and showing less concern another problem again. Sometimes I wonder what we really want as men sef lol

I really do love her, and hope to marry her soon. I'm always down for the attention we give each other. Whenever she's not around, I miss her like m@d. I just need her to understand that sometimes, one just wants to be left alone and it's fine, if one feels that way.

But you miss her like mad when she's not around lol

She's playing the role of a new wedded wife. Why is girl friend living with you to such an exent.

1. Get married and start your family.
2. What you call stalking is companionship and its good for bonding so far it is healthy.
3. It tend to reduce when you start having kids. At some point you will miss that woman.
4. Trust it is far better than a woman that chooses Telimondo, social media or friends as her companion.

I was one of the people that would say, emotional dependency is an act of love but that changed. I went for NECO marking coordination some years back where I met a man; our E.G2. He couldn't speak clearly, in fact, one would need to strain his ears to hear him.

Then, I became irritated; why would someone who had lost his voice be made the E.G 2? But I was corrected by someone sitting beside me. He told me that the EG2 man was always with his wife, they were inseparable. Unfortunately, she died. The man was so shocked that he couldn't speak for years.

So, you matter is like a pair of scissors: either way, you'll be affected. If you love her and plan to marry her; you're lucky. You don't need to say anything: marry her and make babies; those minnies would replace you ASAP.

However, if you don't love her to the level of making her a wife, be blunt with her but you would be breaking a loving heart.

Marry her, the attention would be divided as soon as children entered the mix. If you tell her, it might break her.

I once had a girlfriend exactly like the one you described...

I broke up with her because I couldn't stomach all that attention. And besides I am the type that like my private space. And mostly like to do things on my own. So It felt really choking.

She loved kids too... With even more vigour and I knew within me the attention would shift from me once she started having hers.

But I wasn't just ready for that kind of attention. Such love can become toxic in my opinion.

Talk to her about it...maybe it will help. In my case it didn't!
I enjoy reading your opinions here
