Do you think it’s possible to become overly emotionally attached to a person? Like a girlfriend or boyfriend?

yap!one can get emotionally obscessed with someone else,i think most of the times the victim here always takes her/himself as the inferior one in one way or another in a particular relationship

I got really attached to my Dog Duke, but sadly he died 2 days ago aged 13, the whole family was heartbroken. :frown: we buried him with his bed and lead. :bawling:

Yeah it's definately possible. I get attached to people really easily. It is nice when you find the right person, but awful when you haven't found the right person and you have to break up.
I became emotionally attached to beer when I was an undergraduate. It was a very one-sided relationship.

Yes, in fact I think it's somewhat natural as to be with them you have to like them a lot. However, it's important to have balance, to still see your other friends and do things on your own sometimes.

It's hard though, as you obviously want to spend lots of time with your bf/gf.

It sounds like you have a lot of things going on in your relationship with happened in my relationship with my ex-bf, so if you want to pm me or email me or anything go ahead as I can maybe offer some good advice.

I became truly madly deeply and worst of all far too QUICKLY emotionally attached to someone last term. Ended up in a lot of pain because of it. Don't make the same mistake I did - keep your emotional distance as long as you can.


I do the same and yes; it hurts. On the plus side, however, it makes finding replacements a lot easier... :biggrin:

Yes.

Two of my guy friends were dumped by their long term girlfriends; one has taken to cutting his wrists and writing depressing poetry, while the other goes teary-eyed whenever he hears his exe's name (they broke up more than a year ago.) They're only 16, but they're both acting like the world has ended.

It's only sensible to become attached to the other person if it's a secure and equal relationship, otherwise you're putting yourself at the risk of major heartache.

If you think it's happening to you, I'd suggest try focusing on something other than your partner for while to stop them becoming the complete centre of your life. Having complete dependence on someone for your own happiness just isn't healthy. :smile:

I get too attached to things all the time...but I make sure I keep that to myself, rather than then being scary to the object of my affections! :p:
If you care about things, they can leave and break your heart, but I'd rather care in the first place by far.

:frown: poor you. I know what you mean when you get attached to animals. I was like that with dog, but she died about a year ago (she got run over) idiots speeding through the bloody villiage- they didn't even stop. Speed limits are there for a reason! :mad:
