You can never love someone "too much" i don't believe... From personal experience though, that other person has to feel exactly the same about you otherwise there won't be any appreciation for the intensity level of that love... It's horrible when it's not mutual.

Hmmmm I guess some people could, I mean if you would do certain irrational, crazy things then I'd think you probably do. I mean if you would kill people for them or anything like that maybe that is too much. I mean if it was someone attacking them or something you'd obviously have to go in and try to save them but I mean if you kill someone just because they annoy the person you love or anything like that then yeah. I'd reckon there are people like that too and some people might actually love them like average people love each other but they might have an illness or be a little mad and end up doing stuff like that.

Actually thinking on that I am sure most people can love people as much as they can and you can never love people too much, you just have to have a stable mind to make sure you don't do anything irrational.

I was just looking for some opinions on this. I know it may sound like a really silly question, but do you think there is a point where you can love someone too much? To the point where it drives you crazy, or you start to get really protective, because maybe you're too scared to lose them?

Thoughts please.


Is this how you are feeling at the moment?

Not necessarily, but in ways, yeah.
It's really hard to describe without sounding either way too intense, or completely insane.

When you start to think no one else can have them, so you have to keep them in a freezer.

Well we've been going out a while now, and i can honestly say I've never felt like this before. I love him so much, and he knows that I do. But I don't know if it's doing me any good. Like all of a sudden I'm really overprotective. I've never been like that with exes before. And I find myself getting really annoyed or upset over silly things. Like we're going to Spain in the Summer, and it's the first time i've went away on holiday with just my boyfriend. But the place we're going to, he took his ex girlfriend like two years ago. And it's an apartment, so we'd be staying in the same room, in the same bed, and doing the same things they did. Even though it was really sweet him asking me to go, and I really do want to, I started thinking about how he'd be thinking about her while we were doing all the stuff, and got really upset, and ended up making him feel bad. I know this is totally irrational, and there's nothing he can do about his past. I didn't even know him then, so why am I getting so annoyed?

From personal experience i think that you can love someone too much if the feelings aren't reciprocated, because you just end up getting your feelings hurt....

I know exactly what you mean
Its crazy feeling though isnt it, sometimes you just don't know how to explain the way your acting

Well i love my boyfriend absolutely to bits & sometimes i think i do love him too much, like when i worry about him when hes out or a similiar situation, but then i think is it really a bad thing? In my opinion loving someone lots is a good thing, unless it leads to obsession which i would say is kinda bad, & if this happens i think you would have to cool ur relationship down a bit, if u get wat i mean lol :smile: x

Oh wow I know exactly how you feel, I'd feel the same honestly. My boyfriend wanted us to go to Whitby together and I can't do it cos he went there with her and we'd be going to the same places doing the same things.. ew. I'm pretty bad though like I don't even want to go in his bedroom at home cos they've slept together there and I can't bring myself to be around somewhere they did that. I personally think I'm just a bit of a nut though.

I didn't realise until we'd talked about Spain that they would have done stuff in that bed. I don't know, I've never been like this before, and it's really out of character for me, so I don't really blame myself. It's just, because of my overreactions and paranoia, we're fighting a lot, and I end up crying a lot. Like he can make me so so happy, but it's so easy for him to make me sad aswell. And I don't know what to do because I don't want to turn into this psycho girlfriend that I can see myself becoming.

No I know, well just explain it to him. I know how you feel cos yeah it will hurt his feelings, when I told my boyfriend about how I felt he got so upset because he thought it was his fault, but when you tell yours just make it clear that you're not REMOTELY blaming him, its all YOU and it's in your head, it's your issue and that you can't help feeling like that. But you should tell him, holding it in won't help unless you think it will subside later on and you can enjoy/ pretend to be ok about going to this place in Spain with him.
But you sound exactly like me, we ended up fighting a lot and constantly and I dunno it's almost like a part of me just can't get over that part of him. Which is wrong - it's in the past it's done now and he's with you. Just try to focus on that.

Yeah I know i talked to him about Spain already. And he did feel awful. He felt like a dick for inviting me, which is so stupid because he was being so sweet. I don't know if i want to say to him about not knowing if i love him too much. I want to talk to him about how I feel, but saying "I think i love you too much" sounds so stupid. Like he has said to me that he really really loves me, and that he wants to be with me forever, but I can't bring myself to believe someone like him would want to be with me.
