My girlfriend is overly attached to me and I felt suffocated. She wants everything I do to be reported to her. Her jealousy is killing me too. I am a professional photographer and she’s working as a fiction editor. One time she had seen me talking to some clients who are Peru ladies. We were talking about the upcoming photoshoot for their friend’s wedding then my girlfriend suddenly came up from nowhere--fuming mad. She thought I was flirting with them. It ended up with the clients turning their back at me. She’s sometimes maddening though.
Isn't the point of dating to see if you are a match or not? You aren't a match. so you end it. I am a woman and if I had a boyfriend like that, I would be running for the hills. Unless you want to deal with this every day the rest of your life, you leave before you get married and have kids. The whole point of dating is to test the waters, there is nothing saying you have to stay in this.
How long have you been putting up with this? You should stop putting up with it. She's causing clients to drop you?? She's monitoring your every move? This sounds abusive, OP. She sounds like a potential abuser. This is not about feeling "suffocated" or her being "too attached". This is about your gf being controlling, and to a scary degree.
Fear is driving her, which presents its self in extreme insecurity, jealousy and baseless accusations. It's time to have "the talk" with her re how her issues are causing unnecessary and unwanted anxiety in you. If she is not open to and willing to discuss and work diligently on her issues, or if she deflects her issues on to you as the cause, it's time to leave. She, at this point, is toxic in any romantic relationship. Please, do not let her make it your problem or issue because you are not the origin or cause.
