Okay, I'm a little too emotionally attached to my boyfriend. I don't like being so clingy, and he doesn't like it either. How on earth can I break this habit?
Any advice, please.

I guess you could call it clingy in general. Not really at a certain time, like after sex or when he or I goes out.

A good step to overcome this emotional dependence might be to improve your self esteem and get to know yourself better, if you start realizing the good traits you likely have you'll discover that you don't have to rely heavily on anyone.
Also talk with your friends to see whether they have being also somewhat clingy, so they can give you some advices based on their experiences.
Finally, if you feel that your emotional cling to other persons cause you an emotional distress it might be advisable that you try a psychologist.

You don't mention when you are clingy. Is it when he tries to go out with his guy friends, or after sex? I think recognizing when you are starting to get "clingy" and making a conscious effort to understand why you feel that way will help.
Also good communication is always key. As long as you can be open with each other, that should help as well.

Your are most likely clingy due to insecurity. Relax you have nothing to worry about. Self confidence is a beautiful thing without it we tend to cling on to anything that we think is great. In fear that if we don't it will go away or be taken away. So be confident in your self and loss the worries and you'll loss the clingy stuff

Try doing things without him (with girlfriends). Bowling team once a week, volunteer work, take a class, join a gym. Do anything to develop an interest away from him. It will give you both something more to talk about and you won't be as centered on him.

I should be asking that question, haha. Well here's my story, when I had a girlfriend I would usually talk to her for like the whole day after school online or on the fone. I would kiss her and get real close to her. Write love letters. Yea, so if YOU do any of those things, don't. haha

you jus have to start detaching ur self away from him. jus trust him and be self assured. I know its hard but in the long run youll both be happier and have a healthier relationship.

Just stop, or you'll chase him away.
