I don't mind mutual clinginess in a relationship at first, if it's solely a case of "I enjoy spending time with you, and you enjoy spending time with me, so let's do that a lot" but that sometimes becomes "Why didn't you call me?" "Where were you last night?" etc, etc. which is awful. I don't think it's any more sad in either sex.

That's the test, is it?
