Spending time with your partner should be a joy but you must be able to have fun when they're not around, too.
If you don't have other people or things in your life which make you happy you run the risk of becoming reliant.
You should be able to enjoy time alone with your friends so they can do the same with theirs, without being too desperate to be back together.
If you can't stop texting them when you're out without them your relationship might be unhealthy.
If you bump into their ex and you start to get angry or pick a fight because you think they're still interested, you could be jealous and irrational.
You shouldn't get too upset if they don't like your new shoes.
You start arguments just to get attention
If you often pick fights about petty things you might just be desperate for their attention, which puts strain on both of you.
You feel high when you're around them, but low when you're not
If you feel sort of drunk with happiness when you're together and devastated when you're apart, you could be addicted to them.
You try to calculate how much they love you by their actions
You could be obsessed if you scrutinise everything they do from their body language to the gifts they give and things you do together.
You shouldn't agonise over trying to gauge how much they love you.
You can't cope when they're away for work
If you stop caring and don't want to do anything if they go on a work trip, you need to take charge of your own happiness.
Likewise, you can't cope when they're away with friends
If they go on a weekend away with their friends you should be able to entertain yourself.
Feeling upset or angry that they'd rather be with their friends than you could be a sign that you're too dependent.
You use sex to try and make them love you more
If you force yourself to have sex with them to try and make them like you more, even though you're not in the mood, you could be overdoing it.
Sex shouldn't be used to buy their love, it should be something you both enjoy.
You don't do other important things because you're always together
If the housework doesn't get done and you don't see your friends or phone your parents, you could be spending too much time together.
It's important to keep normal life going outside the relationship.
You only enjoy being with them
If you used to enjoy spending time with friends and family but now you only want to be with your partner, the relationship could be damaging your social circle in the long term.
You're bad at your job because of them
If you don't get your work done because you're too busy texting them or checking your phone to see what they're up to, you need to take a step back.
You feel like your life would be meaningless without them
You need to love yourself, too.
