7 Signs You Love Your Partner “Too Much” And That Is Harming Your Relationship
When you fall in love, your partner becomes the center of your universe. You think about that special someone all day long, texting and showering them with affection. Sometimes, the giving becomes overwhelming for that person. Unlike some movies, romance novels, and stories, loving someone “too much” can hurt relationships.
Here are 7 signs you love your partner “too much”
1. You have put them on a pedestal.
If you see your partner as a perfect human being, it can harm your relationship. In a long run, your partner will be afraid to do anything because he will be afraid to fail. Also, if you show your partner too much attention, he may need more space to breath.
2. You Have Put Yourself Last.
When you put someone first, you obviously forget about yourself. You’ve become obsessed when you’re constantly thinking about your “one” and not putting yourself first. You have to make time to do the things you loved before that person came into your life. Make time to pursue your sports, hobbies, and other interests. Your partner will also appreciate that you give them this time. Eventually, you might find both interests that you can share.
3. You have abandoned your friends.
It is important to still spend time with your friends when you are in a relationship. If you neglect your friends just so you would spend more time with your partner, it is very likely that your friends will not want to do anything with you in a long run.
4. You Put Your Goals On-Hold.
When everything you’ve worked for stops for someone else, you’ve lost yourself. You cannot appreciate your partner’s goals if you are not pursuing yours. A healthy relationship requires giving and sharing plans, goals, and dreams. If it’s one-sided, an imbalance can quickly become toxic. You contribute just as much as your counterpart. Don’t put their needs first and forget about everything that got you to this point. You matter!
5. You smother them.
If you smother your partner with attention, it shows that you feel insecure and you are afraid of losing your partner. Also, it can make your partner feel the need to spend more and more time away from you.
6. You Are Jealous Of Everything.
True love is secure. There is no chance of chєating when there is respect and trust. But if you’re constantly checking your partner’s phone, email, social media, and pockets, you’re seriously obsessing. It’s a borderline personality disorder. You can’t expect your partner to be questioned all the time. Eventually, they will leave, and nothing is more disastrous than a jealous partner. Jealousy is a sign of pure desperation.
7. You Try To Control Everything.
Micromanaging a relationship doesn’t mean showing trust. It’s a behaviour that retards growth. Relationships are made up of partnership, give and take, sharing, and joint decision-making. If you are the one making all the decisions, eventually, your partner will get tired of it because they will feel like their opinion is being swept away. In summary, women have become the most aggressive and controlling subject in a relationship, whereas women were submissive and victims of αвυѕє years ago.
