I’m used to being alone and doing things on my own. Although when I get into a relationship, I tend to be clingy and just like having the company of my SO. But my SO does like his space and I want to respect that. It’s just hard for me because I would like to see him more often even if we do nothing. I just don’t want to push him away by wanting to see him. Im usually busy with work and school till 5 or 6 and seeing him is all I want to do after. How can I work through this phase. Or is it a phase I just feel so needy.

Background info - I felt this way before but that’s when he lived like 6hours away. Then when he move to my city, I didn’t feel so clingy, I actually like time away. Our relationship had many ups and downs. Then we broke up for almost a year and weren’t planning to get back together. We broke up because I didn’t think we were the best for one another but I still cared for him. Then we started talking again and now I’m here. Again being clingy I don’t know why.
