Obsession is injurious to your health and relationship; it kills.
Any relationship is perfectly fine only till it is not fueled by obsession. Relationships are very important as they are integral to our mental health and well being. It is also an established truth that a relationship can last and survive only if it is based on the feeling of love and not obsession. Being obsessed with your significant other can go wrong in many ways. Obsession is simply unhealthy, not only for you, but also for your partner. Whether you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, he or she won't be happy by your obsessive behavior. On the contrary, you could drive away your beloved.
So what are the signs and symptoms of obsessive love? First of all, it doesn't really have anything to do with 'love'. Obsessive relationships are built, not on love, but on insecurity and fear. The obsessive partner is afraid of loosing the partner or of being rejected or abandoned. And this fear causes jealousy and possession. They don't want to share their partner with anyone, not even with their own family. They don't want to talk about anything else except their relationship or their partner. They also go about neglecting friends and family in favour of spending time with their partner. They are also willing to give up their identity and independence because they want to spend each and every moment with them and don't care for one's self. Not only is there jealousy and lack of trust on their partner, they are also 24/7 obsessed with the thoughts of their love mate and nothing else. They don't want to think about anything or anyone else. It's him/her that they only seem to care and worry about. They lose their ability to think, act and feel wisely and are all the time governed with one thought i.e. of their beloved.
If you see these signs in yourself or your partner, then you don't know exactly what is happening with you.
In reality, obsessive love only cares for oneself and not for their partner. They are more concerned about their relationship than the welfare of their partner as they are afraid of loosing their significant other and being alone. Being obsessed is like having tunnel vision. You lose the ability to feel or care about anything outside the object of your obsession.
Getting over an obsession is no simple task, but once you learn how to stop feeding the obsession and divert your energy to new people and interests, freedom will be within reach. If you are experiencing obsession, you need to stop feeding this obsession and get some distance from the source of your obsession. You should focus on things you've neglected so far because of your relationship and cut off your obsessive thoughts by engaging in other activities or pursuing new interests and hobbies. Not only should you strengthen your relationship with other people, but also focus more on oneself than your partner.
Obsession is neither good for you nor for your mate. It only destroys and never give you happiness and peace of mind. It ruins not only your love life but also your relationship with others. It increases the distance between you and your partner and also others. In simple words, it is completely unhealthy and should be avoided.
Quit this obsession before it takes over you and your life.
