[Rivière]

I've previously been with a guy who was rather clingy. If I told him I was busy and that I couldn't see him he'd still make implications that I should come over to see him such as, "I'm free <days> if you want to come over" and he'd keep doing things like this even though he knew I couldn't see him for reasons of my health, my home and my education. I'd explain to him that I could only see him on Sundays but even though I'd explained and repeated these things to him, he wasn't understanding any of it. Although we'd been in the relationship for nearly 3 years, the actual problem right from the start was he was actually just lonely. People do some really strange thigns when they're lonely and sometimes they don't even realise it. They can be really suffocating and hard to deal with, even if we like them. If after you've established boundaries with your boyfriend and after 2 weeks or even less and he continues with the same old thing, it may be a good idea to reconsider your relationship with him whether you like him or not. Some people like yourself may not be able to deal with such heavily clingy behaviour. I know I wasn't. It made it worse that like you, if I didn't respond to his text messages he'd text again and again or even message me over Facebook or get annoyed with me because I wasn't responding quick enough when he knew full well he was doing the very thing a member of my own family was doing which was already hard to deal with. Besides his feelings of loneliness it was also a matter of the fact I was his first ever girlfriend and he didn't really know how to act. Maybe this is the same for your boyfriend? Even if he has had a girlfriend before, he may not know how to act if he's actually very into you unlike his previous girlfriend(s) and so this is something to consider as well.
