Is it normal to be obsessed with your boyfriend?

Depends.It depends

It’s normal to feel intensely in love and think about your boyfriend a lot, especially early on. It’s less healthy if the fixation is taking over your life or pushing you to ignore his boundaries—or your own.

When you’re really into someone, it’s easy for them to occupy a lot of your thoughts. Lots of people go through an extra-intense, can’t-wait-to-see-you phase, and “obsessed” is often just a playful way to describe it.

The useful test is whether you still have room for your friends, interests, and responsibilities—and whether you can respect each other’s privacy and boundaries. If you feel panicky without constant contact, keep tabs on him, or find the fixation upsetting or hard to control, it’s worth taking a step back and talking it through with someone you trust.
