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.

# My Sleep Schedule Struggle

I actually need to sleep by **8:00 PM** every day because I have to wake up at **4:50 AM** for work. That gives me almost 9 hours of rest, which I really need.

But sometimes I only go to sleep at **11:00 PM** — either because I get distracted or can't fall asleep. That means I only get around **6 hours or less**, and I feel very tired the next day.

Here’s my supposed-to-be usual evening routine:

Time       Activity                                                      
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5:00 PM    Eat dinner                                                    
6:00 PM    Take a bath                                                   
8:00 PM    Go to sleep to have better focus and energy for learning new things at work tomorrow

I want to be more disciplined with my sleep, but sometimes it’s hard. 
Has anyone gone through this? 


How do you make sure you sleep on time, especially when your day starts so early?


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.

No need complicated from my experience doesn't matter got work to do or not if you really into it just take annual leave and company can't say no to u .

Go fly/ visit her, convince her parents you love her, piap and happy ending and journey continue

If parents and daughter you failed to convince end the relationship and move on .

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.

I at overseas.

But distance just 100km

you can't change a partner who is prone to anxious
It gets tiring at some point
I would say build your own value
move up yourself so that you can attract a better partner

It's like same with family members
If you can't discard them, stay with them while moving up your capability. When they saw your value, hopefully some day they may change

rely on yourself, don't hope someone would change for you completely

🏗️ CIQ/RTS Area Property Outlook (mystery Personal Evaluation)




No. **Aspect** **Details**
------------------------------------
1 **Supply** 1. Estimated **20k–30k units** coming to market near JB CIQ/RTS by **2026–2028**. <br>2. Does **not include** projects in wider JB metro and Second Link custom areas.
2 **Demand** 1. Need **additional tenants** to absorb incoming supply. <br>2. Possible sources:<br>;• **New jobs** created in SG<br>• **SG-based renters** relocating to JB
3 **Rental Upside** 1. Most tenants are **blue-collar, retail, F&B, service sector** workers. <br>2. **Rental ceiling** due to affordability. <br>3. **Higher-income workers/families** prefer landed homes further from JB CIQ. <br>4. CIQ not ideal for **family living**. <br>5. **Unclear** if higher-income group will shift to JB CIQ. <br>6. If rent too high, **singles might prefer to stay in SG**.
4 **Other Factors** 1. Influenced by **SG rental market trends**. <br>2. Impact from **SGD/MYR exchange rate**. <br>3. **RTS capacity** of 10,000 passengers/hour is helpful but **not a full game changer**. <br>4. Needs strong **transport & infrastructure support** to truly drive relocation to JB custom area.

👏 Very sharp observations — well structured and practical.
🙏 Thanks a lot for sharing this excellent market insight!


**Group** **Living in SG HDB** **Living in JB Condo**
**Singles Malaysian** 1. Close to workplace – saves time and energy<br>2. No daily immigration hassle<br>3. Easier social life and convenience 1. Much cheaper rent<br>2. Willing to endure long commute for savings<br>3. May benefit from RTS link once ready
**Families (Malaysian) * 1. Kids’ schools, healthcare, and daily routines are in SG<br>2. Avoid long travel with children<br>3. But cost of living is high 1. Larger space for kids at lower cost<br>2. Better quality of life if working parents can manage the travel<br>3. Usually prefer landed homes over condos

**Point** **Original Meaning** **Simplified English Version** ✅ Included?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legal Reference Section 375(g) of the Penal Code Section 375(g) of the Penal Code
Definition of Statutory Rape Sex with girl under 16 is rape, even with consent If a man has sex with a girl under 16, even if she agrees, it's rape
Reason Behind the Law Girls under 16 lack mental maturity to consent Girls under 16 are not mature enough to give real consent
Purpose of the Law To protect children from sexual abuse and exploitation The law is to protect them from abuse
Consent is Not Valid Below 16 Her agreement is legally invalid Even if she says yes, it doesn’t count
Adult Bears Legal Responsibility The adult is responsible for not engaging in sex with a minor The adult is responsible, not the child


# Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 (Malaysia)

**Section** **Content** **Key Points / Punishment**
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 2 Definition of "child" A child is anyone **under 18 years old**
Section 20 No defense based on believing victim is over 18 ❌ Cannot use "I thought the victim was 18" as an excuse, unless all reasonable checks done
General provision **Luring** anyone under 18 with sexual intent is a **criminal offence**
Section 11 Sexual communication with a child ❌ Up to **3 years jail**<br>✅ Excludes valid **sex ed / science / medical** communication
Section 12(1) Grooming a child for the purpose of committing an offence ❌ Up to **5 years jail** and **whipping**
Section 13 Arranging to meet a child after sexual communication for criminal purpose ❌ Up to **10 years jail** and **whipping**





**What is happening** **Under 16** **16–17 years old** **18 and above**
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
✅ Sex with agreement ❌ Not allowed (rape) ✅ Allowed if both agree ✅ Allowed
💬 Talking about sex (messages, chat) ❌ Not allowed ❌ Not allowed ✅ Allowed (if not abusive)
🎣 Luring or grooming for sex ❌ Not allowed ❌ Not allowed ✅ Allowed (if both agree)
🤝 Meet after sexual messages ❌ Not allowed ❌ Not allowed ✅ Allowed (if both agree)
👶 Is this person a “child” in law? ✅ Yes (under 18) ✅ Yes (still under 18) ❌ No
⚖️ Can they agree to sex by law? ❌ No (too young) ✅ Yes (age of consent is 16) ✅ Yes






Do Section 375 of the Penal Code (statutory rape) and
the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 conflict?




No, they do not conflict; instead, they complement each other.

Section 375 (g) of the Penal Code specifically addresses statutory rape, meaning:

— A man who has sexual intercourse with a girl under 16 commits statutory rape, regardless of consent.

The Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 is broader and covers:

— Sexual communication, grooming, luring, and arranging meetings with anyone under 18 for sexual purposes.

— It criminalizes many behaviors that are not limited to intercourse, and it covers victims up to 18 years old.



---

Summary:

Law Focus Age Limit Main Coverage

Section 375(g), Penal Code Statutory rape (sexual intercourse) Under 16 years Sex with girl under 16, consent irrelevant


Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 Child sexual offences (broader) Under 18 years Grooming, communication, luring, meeting, etc.


They work together to protect minors from different types of sexual exploitation:

Penal Code sets the minimum age for legal sexual consent at 16.

The 2017 Act extends protections up to age 18 for other sexual offences beyond intercourse.

understand that your girlfriend is underage, which checks out with her behavior of clingy-ness or requires constant reassurance and emotional security.

it's hard to maintain a LDR, i know. i speak from my own experience, but the difference is, i got sick and tired of the LDR and end up marrying her lol.

i believe you heard of the phrase "distance makes the heart grow fonder"? Age does not apply to this. it's human nature to want to be close to our loved ones.

since the circumstance is where u both have to be apart due to ur career, both of u need to have a heart to heart talk about the matter, come up with a long term game plan and share with her. u're the man, so come up with the plan. communication is key to any successful relationship be it from aquaintences to spouse.

u mentioned u spend about 1 hour ish daily to play with your phone? why not use that time just to catch up with her on her daily life and and share with her about your day as well? just simple communication. i believe all she wants is to be part of your life, knowing what happened to u today, what u ate today? whom have you met and any problems with your work today..... just keep her posted and share with her, that would make her feel she is there even though she's not , u get what i'm saying?

to be in a relationship, it means sacrifices and compromises. if u are not ready for that, then my friend, u're not ready for a relationship
