How to handle a clingy girlfriend, future wife

[Ruth4Truth]

OP, don't marry crazy. She needs to take responsibility for her own issues, and seek help. If you're feeling stressed now, imagine what it would be like to be locked together in "holy matrimony" 24/7. You wouldn't last a year.

I agree with the others-- the way to "handle" her is to start by not marrying her. Yikes. I haven't read the whole thread, but I wonder how old the two of you are and how long you've been dating. It has a very young chemically-induced "in love" kind of feel to it. Once the initial hormone rush wears off, that's when the real relationship starts, and the "clingy" you are describing (which sounds more likely insecure and controlling) is still going to be there, even after you get married.

My wife and I talk 3-5 times throughout most days. If she's working when I'm off she'll call even more to ensure I stay on task with the list of chores she's given.

I really don't think of frequent communications as a negative. I mean f her for wanting to talk to you? Cmon man....

Now distrust anger or trying to manipulate and control are different things all together if that's what you think she's trying to do?

If my wife calls and I don't pickup she just leaves a vm or texts what she wants. No anger or serious questions asked later.

Did you read the post? He's talking about her being pissed off and accusing him of not loving her and leaving her because he **didn't response to her 17 texts and missed calls while he was taking a freaking nap**. That's not healthy, and is not at all the same thing you are talking about.
