My W says I'm needy, clingy and controlling too. I also pursued sex to feel wanted by my wife. You should read Codependency for Dummies and maybe even attend Co-Dependents Anonymous, "a program of recovery from co-dependence, where each of us may share our experience, strength and hope in our efforts to find freedom where there has been bondage, and peace where there has been turmoil, in our relationships with others and ourselves." I just started attending these meetings and the support is great - even if you only have some of the codependent patterns it will help you stay focused on your 180 and not behave in a codependent way - old habits die hard. Good luck my friend.
