Obsessive love

Obsessive love means when someone loves another person so much that it can become too much or too intense. Imagine when you really love your favorite toy and want to have it with you all the time and never let it go. But when someone loves another person obsessively, it can be bad because they might not give the person space or respect their boundaries. Just like how you need to share your toy with your friends, people in a healthy relationship need to respect each other's space and boundaries. When someone becomes obsessed, they might become controlling, jealous, or even dangerous, which is not healthy or safe for either person.
