I was wondering if any of you could give some advice regarding my Aqua bf.
We've been going out for about year and half. the issue is that he's been getting really clingy this last few months. He's calling, or texting all the time, and wants me to go to his place (or wants to come over to my place) every day after work or school. When I say "calls and texts all the time" I don't mean that he's stalking me (it isn't like he calls 16 times), but it's enough (for me) to feel a bit suffocated, especially when we've been seen each other every day for the last 2 weeks. I love him to death, and I really don't want to break up with him, but I do need A LOT of space for myself, and for doing my things.
I know if I tell him that, he'll respect it and back off, but I'm not sure how to go about it, as I don't want him to think that my feelings for him have changed (he's a bit sensitive about that and I really don't want him to think that).
Any ideas? I'm not much of a poster but I do read this forums often, and there's always good advices.
Anything will be appreciated, thanks in advance! 😄

meh I wouldn't tell him, just do it. (haha can you tell I'm an aries...)


In all seriousness, I would just take the bull by the horns and start giving him specific times. like, "hey babe, I can't see you today but I'd love to see you at x time tomorrow" or "well, I have to work/study/run/shower/bake cookies right now, but you can come over this night at x time thursday night"

that way he doesn't feel neglected, he knows he's going to see you at a specific time, AND he won't eventually get bored because you've set up nice boundaries that allow you to both be functional human beings that love each other!

yeh im an aquarian and i txt as much as the other person txts back, as long as ur straight and explain then they will be ok,
say that ur busy and can we speak tmra., as the above person says,
i hate it when people lie, or jus aint honest with me, it drives me nuts n makes me think into things n then think the worst whcih then causes me to txt the person who is makin me think. which is like a vicsious circle. so be honest, open and even explain how ur feeling, he will appreciate it more 🙂

Hahaha people on this board tend to complain that Aquas are too distant. Cant imagine one acting like this. My ex aqua would call me sometimes every day to talk for like 5 hours... but I still never saw him every day. More like once ot twice a week. But I guess I didnt really mind all the constant calls (I even craved them) cause Im a Pisces hehe. Just be honest with him and say that u need some time to do things. Dont just start avoiding his phone calls. But whenever u pick up the phone say "hey Ill call u later, have to work on something now." Plus Im sure u will intrigue him more cause he'll know u like having a life outside of a relationship. 🙂

just because aquas tend to be the most eccentric and humanitarian of the lot doesn't mean they don't feel like the rest of us. the distance is over-analyzed and exagerrated because their love is for the greater whole. they do get attached because i've seen it happen. i have a good aqua friend that was extremely devoted and attached to this girl for a few years. she ended it and he still pined after her and was broken up about it for a good year or so.
