A-Best: I had the same problem with somethat I know now. But I found that just pulling away and turning a cold shoulder did nothing for either of us. When I was doing this everything was getting very heated and fractious which is what neither of us really wanted. But when I was just kind of getting on with it and letting him do what he wanted I found my self becoming really snappy and irritatble which again was causing more problems and a lot of "time of the month" "its a women thing" and "somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed" jokes were thrown around. In the end I just said stuff it and almost had a go at him (not the best way of saying it admitted) but it worked and it turned out that he hadnt a clue that he was annoying me. He's still smothering me and still in my face but its no where as bad, its copeable and if it gets too much I just let him know and he lays off. If you've already tried talking to him etc then I think there is only that option still available, but this time (if possible) come across more serious and if he doesnt take you seriously thats when you go in a sulk =) works for me.. but seriously if you dont like the whole sulk thing just walk off n let him think about it. Him smothering you isnt on hun xx Hope i help and sorry bou the essay.. got carried away
