How do you avoid being obsessive with your partner?

Question

I feel like I am obsessing over my boyfriend. I don't want to lose him. What do I do?

Answer

How do I avoid obsession?  Well, I trust him and have things that fulfill me outside of our relationship.

Answer

This case actually happens with people who may have anxiety. I have anxiety and noticed it in a past relationship of mine. But I was also a division one college athlete when I was with him so I was busy. Two years out of school we were together for a few months and I became like that again.

Another reason is that there wasn't much trust going or nor was it a real  relationship. 
With all being said it could just be the type of person you are, you want to be with him like all the time, but you can't. For it to last and be healthy you need your own space. If you have hobbies or something your passionate about that's good. You should still do what you love (your passions, work, hobbies, etc) while your in a relationship. You can't be together 24/7 you need space to be yourselves as individuals as well as a couple. If your in a new relationship, these feelings are fairly common.

Honestly... You have to learn to control your emotions and to realize that they aren't everything ... That your gonna be fine with or with out them. And when they realize you are with them because you want to be not because you have to be then that will strengthen your relationship. Would you rather be happy with someone who ginuinly loves you or a person who pretends... Because my husband pretended really good and now we are getting a divorce... And I feel like my whole world I'd dissolving..  So I have to pick myself back up.. And move on

Answer

If you are feeling obsessive over the relationship/him, then it may be time to leave. When I acted like that in the past, I now know that I was with the wrong people. Now that I am with my husband, even during dating, I just felt at peace with it and never worried about him leaving because he was fully committed. Not saying you don't have commitment, but having that "peace" is a big deal. It'll come with the right situation.
