When youre smitten, you crave your significant others time and attention. In fact, its naturally, biologically normal. When human beings are in the passionate, early stages of falling in love, dramatic changes take place in our brains that most closely resemble that of a cocaine addict. Like a newborn baby with its mother, love is so overwhelming that any separation feels painful.
But believe it or not, you can become too close (or dependent) on your man. The fear that these women feel when there is separation can be so intense that it literally feels like they could die. The bliss of being together and loving each other can feel like ecstasy. But with any separation, it could feel like he may never come back and your whole world will crumble.
It can become difficult to go to work, maintain friendships, and relationships with family, or even go to the bathroom alone. At some point this level of closeness will most likely be too difficult for both parties to sustain.
If you fear this could be you and you're too close to your significant other, here are 10 specific signs to look for, according to Bash:
1. You cancel plans with friends, or avoid meeting them in the first place, in the hope that you'll get to spend the time with your man.
2. You shirk work and other responsibilities.
3. You drive by his house when you don't have plans.
4. You routinely snoop though his phone or emails.

8. You don't give him alone time, even when he's in the bathroom.
9. You make him feel guilty for having other responsibilities, rather than spending the time with you.
