<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

So we've only been dating for a week but have known each other for a couple months. I was head over heels for him and wanted to spend every moment with him but his behaviour lately is beginning to make me question whether or not this will work out. He began acting clingy and expresses his dislike for not being in constant contact and with me. We were talking yesterday and I mentioned my 2 exams scheduled today and how I would be at school for approximately 7 hours but we could text in between the exams. He tried to convince me to skip them and I didn't think he was serious. I told him I needed to take those exams to pass my classes and that they were worth 20% of my mark. After him still trying to persuade me I said "you're basically telling me to skip my exams and fail my classes and spend my whole summer retaking said classes just so I can spend 7 hours with you" he seemed to understand just how detrimental that was and I expressed how I did not appreciate him telling me to ignore something that means a lot to me and impacts my future. His response was to just apologize and then leave. Today he texts me apologizing about leaving last night and that he just didn't want to argue. I'm not sure what to do really. A few days ago he told me about his depression and that I was the only thing keeping him happy and he wouldn't know what to do without me. I do love him I just don't know how you come about these problems.
<bot>: bf is too clingy and I'm worried he thinks of spending time with me and lacks respect for my needs/wants. What can I do to help him see the problem?
