Thanks to both of you. I understand where he is coming from and why he would attach himself to me so easily but it's hard to talk to him about wanting time alone and to have him understand. I think it's just something that needs to be worked out over time. I feel like if I tell him that I need some alone time or anything like that, that, to him, equals "I don't love you anymore" and I'm not sure how to make him see that they are not one in the same.
