Title: My clingy long-distance girlfriend asks if I talk to others when I'm busy —
what should I do?

Hey everyone, I’m in a long-distance relationship with a girlfriend who’s emotionally dependent.
She needs constant communication and attention. I’ve been trying my best to chat with her every day, even during off work hours when I’m really busy.
I actually need to sleep at 8:00 PM every day because I have to wake up at 4:50 AM.

But sometimes I end up sleeping at 11:00 PM after chit-chatting with her, so I only get 6 hours of sleep or less.
But sometimes, when I don’t reply quickly or miss a day, she’ll ask me things like, “Did you go chat with someone else?”
I often change the passwords for the social apps we use to avoid chatting with her, but sometimes I can’t control myself.
I end up pressing “forgot password” and then use my reset password to log in again so I can keep chatting.
I know she’s insecure and just wants reassurance, but it adds pressure on me emotionally.

I’m wondering — would it be okay if I only message her every 2 or 3 days during busy workweeks, as long as I still show I care?
Or would that make things worse between us?

I care about her, but I also don’t want to feel guilty for focusing on work. She says she loves me, but sometimes I feel like the trust isn’t solid.

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation?
How do you manage a clingy partner in a long-distance relationship when your schedule is tight?

Any advice would really help. Thanks.

have you met her in person before?

For LDR to work you need to know her at least 1 year before you guys go for LDR

Also you need a long term plan, what is the end game?

are any of you planning to link up after some time ?

So who is the one in overseas? you or her ?

If there are no plans to link up in future, to live together, please forget about LDR

its too much hassle lah.
