Re: Clingy Relationships
Why are sooo many couples so damn clingy to each other??
It’s been recently really getting on my nerves, where I have noticed some of our couple friends (engaged, married) DO NOT leave each other alone.. my God, you are together, no one is taking your significant other away from you if you leave them alone for a second, jeez.
And the length of said relationship isn’t a reason either cuz I have seen it in both 6-month couples, and 4-year couples
Many of our friends will cancel plans because “he can’t come”, or “she is working” .. So, if one can’t come, the other will not. Unless one is sick, I really see no reason.. I can see how some might think of it as a respect thing, for example, not showing up to a birthday or wedding without their spouse and not wanting to have fun without them, but at the same time, that’s even more disrespect to the couple hosting that event, and wanting you present to celebrate.
And it’s selfish if the one who isn’t coming to expect their partner to not go and have fun.. it’s life, get over it.. not every single thing can possibly be done together.. and doesn’t that get boring anyway?
Unless its a very close friend asking for a dinner, I don’t go if my wife isn’t available and vice versa. Its nothing to do with selfishness. If its a dinner just for us two then we can reschedule it but if its a social meet with a lot of couples or people then us not being there wouldn’t really make a difference.
