He Leaves Voicemails: 45 Signs He's Not Clingy, He's Stage 5 Crazy

Every female, at one point in her life, has had that overly attached guy around who has made her want to crawl out of her skin.

You know, that man who is a little too emotional, a little too available and a little too all up in her business.

But for some reason, as much as we like complaining about these men, we keep them around because who doesn't love attention?

Sounds twisted right? Yup. But we also love complaining, so why would we kick them to the curb?

We may be facilitating the problem until we hit our breaking point, but it doesn't detract from the fact that these men are a breed of their own and need to be returned to the wild.

There's a fine line between clingy and creepy, as we've all bore witness to the prime example of in “Wedding Crashers.”

Unfortunately, there are times we don't realize this until it's too late, and we've wasted years investing in these people.

It's okay if that's the situation — the important thing is that you realize it and remove yourself.
