Is it possible to love someone too much and, if so, how do you know that's happening? Someone told a friend, "He's crazy. He loves you too much". That doesn't even make sense to me.
WB: I think -- and this is a deeply individual perception, I don't offer it as fact -- that the very nature of romantic love is rooted in fantasy born out of loneliness. We either fall in love with people that don't actually exist (just ask anyone here who's ever been in a really miserable marriage) or, at best, we greatly embellish those we love in our minds.

To me it means losing yourself (identity) in someone else. You know, their whole world revolves around their SO. It's not a healthy state of mind and sadly, alot of men/women have lost their lives at the hands of these types of personalities. While we on the outside see it as anger, controlling and harmful.....they see it as love.
When someone spends every waking moment thinking about the other person, when they call 100 times because the phone is not answered, when they get angry when you are too busy with friends to talk, when they follow you without letting you know they are there, when they question you incessantly about every move you make, they claim that they just love you too much. That is not about love at all; it is about ownership.

No, that's obsession. This couple isn't even close to that.
