Dear Miss Edna:
I need your wisdom. My boyfriend keeps “forgetting” to text me back, but I see him online liking other girls’ photos. When I confronted him, he said I was being “too clingy.” Am I overreacting, or is this a red flag? I feel like he doesn’t care if I wait for his reply until I turn old, die, and rot.

Miss Edna’s Response:
Dear Confused and Clingy,
Overreacting? Bless your heart, but no, you’re underreacting. A man who can double-tap Becky’s gym selfies but can’t tap out a text to you is a man who doesn’t value your time—or his own survival.
Let me translate “you’re too clingy” for you: It’s boy-speak for “I want all the perks of a relationship without the effort of actually being a decent human.” Sweetheart, that’s not a red flag; that’s the entire Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Here’s what you do:
Call Becky, because she probably has the same boyfriend.
Donate this clown to the circus where he belongs.
Text yourself, “I deserve better,” because you do. Then believe it.
Now, go get yourself a pint of ice cream and some self-respect. Both will serve you better than this joker.
You’re welcome.
