It would much depend on the extent of the "clingy". A bit can be okay. But, it goes a long way. Amen a bit goes a very long way... |

clingy doesn't work for me
it's nice to feel needed and wanted, but I like my space... |

 In a relationship, is it ok to be "clingy" if the other person is also clingy?
Its not healthy. But, is it okay? It is only the business of the two people in the relationship. |

of course it's okay. at times.
one of the main benefits of even being in a relationship is to allow yourself to be needed. and to admit to needing another. that's not detrimental to the relationship, nor is it a sign of personal weakness. at least not if it's on an occasional basis, or during certain stressful periods. I agree with the above statement to a point, but everyone requires some alone time once in a while. |

"Clingy" isn't really healthy, and no it's not ok. |

If there's mutual clinginess involved, then it's okay to be clingy. Otherwise, it isn't. |

Well...after the first 10 years...the clinging is more or less going to end up looking like each other.
That's just too spooky for me. |

I think clingy is good when it is like effection towards each other on a frequent basis. Clingy like calling 15 times a day is bad.

could be two people are so in love they can't keep their hands off each other
See I don't see that as clingy. Clingy, to me, is suffocating, needy, and sick. It's confining and unhealthy. It gives the other person NO personal space & comes off desperate. So I guess defining what a person sees as 'clingy' is important eh?

If a woman were to be "clingy" to me, I'd question it. I aint that great.

That sounds a bit like co-dependence, dear Mirror.
It makes me think of a line in a current popular song, that one where the woman is sad because another has decided to stand where she once stood... something like I don't know who I am without you.... |

Two lives become one in marriage, sure, but I will never be a part of someone else. I would be a compliment, not a contribution. Makes sense? |

Yes, but that still leaves the door open for a little clinginess.. yay! |

Cuddling, backrubs, foot rubs, hot baths together, etc.. yes! But nothing unreciprocated...like calling every 30 mins. while someone's at work.. In a couple-few years, the newness will wear off anyway. It will slow down on its own. :D But you'll have great memories to feed upon when you want to light the fire again.. |

All of the above = 'affection'. Nowhere do I see 'clingy'
