All of my long-term relationships end because the guy can't give me the space that I need in a relationship. I grew up being alone a lot of the time, my father was never really in the picture, and I am now extremely independent and self-sufficient and I don't feel the need to have a man around 24/7 in order to feel good about myself. This is a huge problem for nearly every guy I've run into. They all want a woman to just hang all over them and to need them for reassurance, either that or THEY need to hang all over ME for reassurance and I can't stand it! It really sucks because I meet perfectly good guys who would otherwise be great in a relationship if only they didn't have to call me or see me ALL THE TIME and I just get SO frustrated and annoyed that I am practically FORCED to break up with these poor guys. Does anyone else feel this way? And do I have much hope of finding a guy who will respect my need for space and independence?

I absolutely cannot stand clingy PEOPLE.
I don't like clingy men that I date. I don't like clingy friends.
It annoys me. I won't answer the phone.
It will turn me right off.

I think a bit thing for me as well, it's almost like I just wish I could skip the dating part of a relationship and get right to the stage where we are comfortable with each other and don't necessarily have to be doing the same thing when we are together.
For example, married couples, one can be watching TV while the other is on the computer, reading or doing whatever, they are still 'together' in a sense but can still be doing their own independant things.
