    hi

    my problem is when i get a new partner, i seem to obsess about them. i think of them all the time, and always want to do stuff together. i seem to forget myself when im with someone. i know its not healthy and i dont know why i do it. is anyone else like this or is it just me?

    Why are you beating yourself up about this ?

    If you meet someone that you like, and your feelings are about THEM, rather than the notion of "a partner", then I'd see nothing wrong with this.

    It's important not to let it affect other, equally important parts of your life, and also to put it in context that neglecting important things (job, friends, family, chores, you-time) will make you feel bitter if it turns out to be transient.

    So enjoy the feeling, but don't let it take over completely; after all, if it's a "new partner", then you don't really know them and might go off them in a while when you get to know them better, or normality might set in where they're a "part of" your life, rather than being the sole focus.

    But there's nothing wrong with enjoying the feeling, and having fun getting to know them!
