Set boundaries for what you're comfortable with, but try to compromise to ensure you both feel secure in the relationship. If you feel like someone is clinging, it’s usually possible to meet in the middle.
On the one hand, you can give them the reinforcement they need to feel secure in the relationship by being there when you say you will and following through on your word. On the other hand, it’s also okay to express that you need a little bit more space and independence sometimes, especially if you’re an independent person, which many of us are.
