what does he do? how does he act? Probably doesn’t matter which one it is, if you’re uncomfortable, you’re uncomfortable.

Love should be equal between you; it’s doing things for the other peron rather then just to make himself closer to you, if that makes sense. It’s sometimes a subtle difference.

Well, the MAIN difference is spelling, but….I kid.

As the first person pointed out, a little more info is needed. But if you have the ask that question, I think you might already know there’s a problem.

sometimes theres a fine line…obsession can be more selfish and controlling…

well, id say the line is drawn at where you start to feel uncomfortable…so work it out for yourself and tell him if you need more space

obsession is when he really wants to be with you all the time, is calling you up, and just can’t get you out of his mind. if he loves you, he will do anything for you but also give you space and respect for your life… if he is obsessed he needs you to fill a void within him.

Well, based off that, I’d say he’s obsessed. You might want to jump the sinking ship

you see … he wants you to be with him forever… but you were never his to begin with. this really isn’t about you it is about him, and what he is missing in his life. he cannot handle you. however it could be any girl.
