Too much affection..

Hi everyone! I am new to this group and I am hoping that others can give me some insight.

My husband and I love eachother very much but he seems to go way overboard with his emotions. He is constantly texting me, calling me (so much that it affects my work) and constantly asking for reassurance. In addition he gets extremly upset if I try to do anything without him. I can't even carry on a conversation with girlfriends without him drilling me about what we talked about. He also insists on lovemaking almost daily! I know this sounds crazy, but lately I have felt smothered.

All advice is appreciated!!

" there can be too much , NOT SAYING THIS IS THE SAME SITUATION at all , but one of my aunties (not close with there family) she is like that with her husband, not sure how it started but my momm told me he had a really good job but she called him all the time at work he lost his job because of her, at there sons saget she even went to it because she caint leave her hubby alone, my mom made a comment that she doent trust him...

i think that its just control issues , but there still could be thousands of reasons

ask him whats going on plain some questions that may help u figure out whats going on "

" I think its better to communicate a lot, than not at all.

Talk to him about it. If you really feel like he is going overboard, set limits. Don't answer every call (especially if you are busy). Be prepared to stick to the limits though, and if you decide (for example) that he will only call you three times a day...only answer three calls a day. "

Communication is the key, it does NOT just mean talking but demonstrating a willingness to work things out.

Best of luck to you both.

" I don't blame you. I'd feel smothered too. It sounds like he's either really insecure or doesn't trust you as far as he can throw you. Ever tried couseling? "

" I really think he needs therapy. I suppose it's possible that you two can work it out without some professional help, but it's unlikely.
I say insist that you guys try marital counseling, and be prepared for the therapist to suggest that he, and probably you too, go for some individual counseling first, or at least along with the marriage therapy!!
Good luck!!! "
