Clingy girlfriend

I'm female and would find that impossible to deal with if it was the other way around! The kiss at the end of every message is madness, like most people just put one if they're saying goodnight or whatever. What age are ye? Have you ever told her how you feel?

She seems to be extremely awkward, and angered without reason when she isn't the center of your universe. If you took her out constantly to be with your friends, that'd be a different story, but you're giving her time so there shouldn't be an issue. No couple I know sits beside each other during a meal, as for the 'x' thing, that's sort of a middle-meeting place, if it's just one then it's not a big enough deal for you not to do, but her reaction to it isn't exactly healthy either - there's history there. You seriously need to talk to her, but be mindful that the main issues you should be discussing are the completely unreasonable ones, namely: you splitting your weekend between her and friends, the meal situation, and the physical intimacy thing. If she needs constant validation of your affections, then that's her issue she needs to work through. It seems like you've got a lot of problems with her actions, and bottling them up won't help you. Keep as calm as you can and get your thoughts into words in a way that completely conveys how you're feeling, and things should move forward from there.

Sounds like she is alot more affectionate and tactile than you is all. I would say to have a word and tell her that its too much but if it were me, I would be questioning why it took you a year and a half to say something.

Maybe its just that she is more into you than you are her and you should consider moving on? If thats not the case, then compromise - pick your battles - sticking an X on the end of a text isn't going to kill you or sitting beside her in a restaurant but equally she could give way on some of her 'demands'...
