Too affectionate/needy

I’m currently 4 months into this relationship and the first month in I actually made a post here basically saying my bf is so needy. He’s so affectionate, when we’re together he’s constantly in my face, touching it/ kissing me non stop. (I love my space) I love hanging out with him but oh man I also don’t need to be all up in each other’s face 24/7. We see each other weekends and that’s not enough for him, he tries to come over 2xs on weekday and I was getting overwhelmed. I have my job, my daughter, I go to the gym, so when I get home I just want to relax but nope he insists on seeing me, fine. Also posted how he made himself a shared photo album ( _____ bf pictures) & there’s currently about 30 pictures of himself. He’s constantly looking for reassurance (his body) so on. Oh I just found out he doesn’t work, which explains why he has all this time and wants to talk to me 24/7..

When I posted, some ladies told me I should be thankful because their partner doesn’t care to talk to them. Enjoy it, it’s the “ honeymoon phase” I think he’s an amazing guy but I’m used to & love confident and independent. I’m not sure what to do now, I’m about to open up my own office and I want to talk to him before. I can’t be having to worry about this.

Thoughts???

I just need him to not be so needy

Edit- he’s self employed but for the past month or two he hasn’t been marketing himself. So the first month he “made” himself seem so busy and all of that suddenly went away. & now he’s saying he doesn’t know what he wants to do (he’s 26) that’s fine but he seems to have no motivation now
