What are the signs of a needy significant other?

Neediness comes in all shapes and forms, the worst of which are: Clinging, whining, constant calling, constant need for reassurance, no sense of self separate from one's significant other . . . .

If your significant other is struggling to get away from your clinging grasp, you might be a little too needy for his/her tastes.

A guy with a desk job and huge callouses.

For me it's the constant calling and constant sayings like, "I thought you were going to call me?" "Where were you"

Did you mean needy as in "high maintenance" or "clingy"?

"I love you... Do you love me?"

"What took you so long? I thought you were just going to the store, but you've been gone 45 minutes. I mean, not that it matters. You can go where you want, it's just that it seemed like you were gone a long time for just going to the store."


"Hi, What's going on?"
"Nothing. You just left 30 minutes ago."
"I know, but I just wanted to check in. Do you miss me?"


"I took the trash out. Am I a good boy? Do I get a prize?"


Calls the grocery store to ask you to pick up something already told you was needed before you left.

Calls work every day at least once, sometimes more... Just to chat or check in.

Calls as soon as you land at your parents for a visit and then every 6 hours until you arrive back home.


Shall I go on?

Having said that... It's whatever triggers to you that your significant other is needy. Have to trust your instincts.
