Ever had a guy that is super controlling and clingy? If you're not sure he is, then read this article to see if any of these symptoms apply. If they do, then maybe you should re-evaluate what he contributes to your life and communicate with him about how this is becoming a problem.

  1. He seems sweet at first, but next thing you know he’s trying to involve himself in every aspect of your life. He’s involved with your friend's life, he’s involved with your work, your school… you get the idea.
  2. He wants to come over every. Single. Day. Attention is great, but when he wants to be apart of your life 24/7 it becomes a problem.
  3. He starts to become clingy to your own friends too. I love a man that is best friends with my friends, but it’s an issue when he starts to even annoy your friends…
  4. He tells literally the whole world that you guys are official when you guys really are not.
  5. He starts to become controlling in very little things in your life that eventually becomes very apparent that he is controlling.
  6. You think he’s advising you, but really he’s just trying to manipulate the situation to his own benefit
  7. His friends start to “spy” on everything you do and update him like it’s their job.
  8. He checks up on you over text message to make sure you are not doing anything stupid without him being there to supervise.
  9. He plays the victim every time you mention that he is getting way too clingy.
  10. He guilt trips you to make himself feel better and seem like a hero to you... when you did not do anything wrong in the situation
  11. In the end, you need to acknowledge that he is the problem and that he needs to give you space to live. If he does not respect that, he does not respect you.

It's important to live a healthy relationship with the man you are seeing or in a relationship with. If any of his actions do bring you negativity in your life, make sure to communicate those concerns with him and vocalize your concerns. If it continues to happen, girl drop him you can do much much better!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
