Today, my girlfriend tearfully complained that I was smothering her to death with my clinginess, and that I should learn to respect her boundaries. This is after she complained I wasn't giving her enough attention. FML

Today, my girlfriend of over a year broke up with me. Two weeks ago she complained that I didn't act like I really loved her. I then became more involved and caring just for her to show my love. The reason she broke up with me? Because I was "suffocating her with clinginess." FML

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me for being "too clingy". I haven't seen her in over 3 weeks and texted her first once. Guess that's still too much for her. FML

Today, I wrote "I love you" on my girlfriend's Facebook wall. She completely freaked out and accused me of being "too clingy" and that I'm starting to feel more like a stalker than a boyfriend. FML

Today, I dumped my girlfriend because she frequently wouldn't answer my texts or phone calls, and not call or message back for days. I felt that bringing it up made me a control freak. I couldn't take it anymore. FML

Today, my girlfriend asked me not to love her so much, so she doesn't have to try so hard to match my love for her. What the fuck? FML

seems like you need more practice in relationships and know how to get the right balance (i.e if she said you didn't give her enough attention and you thought calling her up every 5 minutes to say you love her was the solution) or that you're both relatively young or something. However, she also doesn't sound like a keeper. The most important thing is to be yourself and if she's trying to make you act like you wouldn't normally, best to both move on and accept you're not really what each other is looking for in a partner.

one of the following has probably happened: a) you over compensated and smothered her b) you waited too long to start paying attention to her and now she's found someone else c) she was a whiny little bitch to begin with and you're better off without her
