I like this girl but I've told her a million times to take it easy with the texts, she never listens. If I don't get back in 10-15 minutes I'm pretty much guaranteed at least 4 annoying needy texts.

I don't want to break up over something so stupid, but it's getting on my last nerve. Any ideas?

Jeez. It's quite simple. Tell her you have a limited data plan.

Examples?

LRC women, any insights?

Have a face-to-face conversation about how you feel about the issue. Remind her via text message to re-enforce it.

If she's unable to set boundaries with text messaging, you're in for a very, very, very long and rough relationship.

Set a boundary and if she can’t listen let her go

You should have known she was needy before you entered the relationship. It's just her personality. She needs, or wants, constant attention and affection because she most likely has some underlying self-esteem or trust issues. You can't change her personality. You can talk to her about it and reassure her that she's special to you and give her all the attention you can. She might still want more attention than you care to give her. In that case, it's better to let her go so she can find someone who will give her the attention she needs. The reality is, if you don't, someone else on social media will give her the attention she craves.

If she puts out enthusiastically, who cares if she texts a lot.

Send her 200 msgs a day, play her at her own game.

This is called ball and chain. Dump her unless you like a high maintenance chick who's a pain in your butt and leads you to an early grave.

Nah, have a text-to-text conversation about how you feel about the issue. She seems to like texting better.

Why did you start dating someone that you don’t enjoy talking to? Maybe try being single. This really isn’t a problem. Be an adult. Figure it out.

"she never listens"

Why are you in a relationship with this person if she doesn't even take the time to listen to you and work things out? If Marriage/Long Term companionship is what you want to get from a relationship, then you shouldn't be wasting your time or hers if something as ridiculous as clingy text messages is causing issues.

She needs to understand that you are your own person and need to have your own life, as does she. If she is being too clingy and you still want to work things out, try to suggest for her to have things to do (work, hobbies, interests, activities, social events etc.) so that she wont have the time to constantly feel like she needs to message you. Good relationships that last are with two people that are willing to compromise and respect each other's independence/lives outside of the relationship.
