at the moment ive kinda split up with someone who was from a very affluent background. they had a massive house in surrey and i mean gigantic. they werent snobs but i fit in so well. im not sure if i would miss them so much if they werent from this background. it was asif that was what i was missing- their life and not them in particular............... :frown:
sometimes i do. My boyfriend kind of tells me if i am gtting a bit clingy but we like being together a lot so its not too bad. I think it perfectly reasonable.
oooh i see. You like clinging to the life you dont have which is even more understandable. i wish i had a nice big house ect. Nothing wrong with this.

Clingyness should be avoided at all costs imo.

its just annoying because, well im from a poor household but a wealthy family (if that makes sense), i have a very good education- but i seem to want to run away from my life and into someone elses????

Its not the most desirable of things I must admitt, but sometimes your partner or even you cant help it.
It could just be how you are to want to be close to someone all the time.
My last ex was rather clingy when he felt he was being attacked or if he thought he had upset me...therefore being clingy to him meant he would keep hold of me and I wouldn't leave.
its just how people are, and if your clingy because you like how they live, and in some aspect your craving that lifestyle, then maybe you should consider what part of your life makes you feel like you need to cling to someone else's?

that way you wont have to feel so insecure :smile:

i think its because i have no memory of my parents being together and i miss that 'family' feeling. its like i see the missing family-feeling in the person i like, hence wanting to be part of it .......... ?

^ Everyone wishes they could have some parts of other peoples' lives. But think, does your ex-boyfriend envy you for anything? Maybe he does. Maybe he wishes he had your family or something. I dunno. Everyone envies other people at times :smile:

agree.

op, i think you need to get over it, without meaning to hurt your feelings. not everybody has the perfect life, whatever you might think, you need to realise that. if you were that rich person with a big house in surrey or whatever, you'd still find problems. being like this is, if not annoying every single person in your life, not healthy for you at all.
Not being horrible but being clingy is such a turn off.
Wheres the line between being very close and clingy then? >_>
slightly off topic here, but how do you stop being clingy in particular with a bf? When you're insecure about something, it's hard not to be clingy Ive always thought. So OP seems like you're insecure about your own family?

i dont think you've understoo what i meant.........

its the fact that ive never felt part of a proper family that makes me want to be part of someone elses. its not the fact they were wealthy which attracted me, its the fact that because they were wealthy i got on with them more and fitted in.......
