I am a 35 year old woman who became single after 5 years in a relationship one year ago. I am attractive, successful, smart and a hard worker. I went on a few dates here and there but they didn’t work out. Two months ago I met my boyfriend who is 8 years older than me. He texts me all day long, always asking about ex boyfriends, when he’s going to see me next etc. He is really good to me otherwise. Showers me with gifts, takes me out to dinner, compliments me, hugs me, slow dances with me, we cook together, watch movies and we both love football. Is he just clingy or is it going to turn into abuse later down the road? I have my guard up because my last boyfriend was emotionally and verbally abusive. What do you guys think?
