Is it selfish of me to be this needy and clingy towards my boyfriend?

Right now during these times, I need him more than ever. I called him while he was at work, crying on the phone literally about nothing 😭😭. I was just upset about the choice I made that’s gonna forever affect our life and I told him that he can leave any time he wanted to because I know I can be hard to be with. It’s gonna be a lot and I feel for him because he hasn’t seen me at my worst yet. In his culture, they don’t respond to mental illness. And if he was to see me have a breakdown, he might think I was doing witchcraft or something. It’s just gonna be a lot from here on out. I really want him to reduce his hours but I don’t even know how to come about that conversation with him.

Selfish? No, not really. But if he expects you to conform to his culture and mentality - especially when it comes to things like mental illness - then he's the one being selfish.

@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart If he feels the same way then he should accept you for who you are. I'm sorry if things don't work out between you, but it's probably better that it happens now rather than later.
@KiwiDan I see him again Saturday. That’s when I wanna tell him everything that’s been going on with me.

Don't ask him to reduce his hours its not fair to him, its his career.
You cant have it both ways..,

@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart ms. S. ....stop overthinking it, its your hormones.

Wanting to be with the one you love all the time is normal. Be happy and enjoy what time you have together, though it might not be as long as you want.

@bleach Maybe I’m just stereotyping and I don’t give him enough credit but I already know his family isn’t fond of me. They think I’m a hoe lol. But he’s put up with me for almost 4 months now. It’s just that if he ever feels like it’s too much, I gave him permission to leave. I already have a backup plan for everything if/when that does happen.
