Quality Time Vs. Neediness

How to properly balance spending quality time with your significant other so they are eager to spend even more time with you in the future, versus coming off as being needy and clingy which will cause them to back away and spend less time with you.

In this video coaching newsletter, I discuss an email from a viewer who has been following my work for about two months. He has been dating his girlfriend for about two years now. After reading the book, “The Five Love Languages” by Gary Chapman, he realized that his love language was quality time and his girlfriends love language is based upon gifts and acts of service. He realized that when he did not spend enough quality time with his girlfriend and his previous girlfriends, this led to him becoming needy and clingy. He is starting to learn how to properly balance spending quality time with his girlfriend, but giving her space and time away from him to miss and want to see him. He asks my opinion on what he should do so his neediness and clinginess no longer manifests itself in their relationship because this has caused their relationship to become an on-again off-again type of dysfunctional relationship when he becomes too smothering.

“Many people consciously and unconsciously let their loneliness and desire for companionship interfere with their ability to act natural and balanced when they are dating or in a relationship. This often causes them to become controlling, needy, clingy and smothering. This will then cause the person who they are romantically involved with to back away because they feel like they are losing their freedom, and often themselves. People who don’t know any better, then think that they have to do something to cause or force the other person to want to spend more time with them. This will predictability and permanently lead to the end of their love affair. In all relationships, you must give the other person the time and space to reciprocate interest, make a mutual effort and the freedom to choose.” ~ Coach Corey Wayne
