They never make plans of their own.

You might love your partner, but you can’t help but wonder if they even have a life outside the relationship.

If his or her one and only interest is spending time with you, then as flattering as it can be, it is also concerning.

Someone who is emotionally healthy would never “need” so much of you, even if you’re Brad Pitt. (Brad, if that’s you, I loved you in “Inglorious Basterds“!)

An emotionally healthy individual will truly value their time alone or with their friends and will want the same for you.

Couples should be able to comfortably spend some time apart. But if your partner is glued to you, then you might want to consider having a talk. The best way to handle this terrible situation is to know these red flags and warning signs up front.

You also need to trust your gut and set the right boundaries from the start. If you want to make it work, you both have to do some inner work (if necessary) to feel more at ease in any circumstance, instead of taking your insecurities on the other.
