It's just as unhealthy to spend too much time with your partner as it is to spend no time with him. You don't want to smother each other. You don't want him to become your entire world either, because there's so much more you have to live for. So if the following things describe your relationship, you're probably a little too attached to your man:

You Freak out when It Takes Two Seconds for Him to Reply

You Won’t See Your Friends Alone
It's nice to have friends that allow your boyfriend to tag along. However, sometimes you should go out without him. You can have a social life of your own, you know.

You Can’t Make a Decision without Him

You Cry Whenever He’s Gone
You shouldn't freak out whenever you have to spend a weekend without him. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, after all.

Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration.
He’s the Only Thing You Care about
There's more to life than your relationship. You can't quit your job for him. A career is important, too.

You Ditch Others for Him
You shouldn't ditch your friends, just because your man wants to come over to watch Game of Thrones with you. He shouldn't outrank your gal pals.

You Rely on Him for Everything

You Let Him Pull You Away from Family

You Invite Him out without Asking
If your friends invite you over, make sure you ask them if your boyfriend can come before inviting him yourself.

You Shower Together
It's fun to shower together every once in a while, but it shouldn't be happening on a daily basis.

You Tell Each Other Everything
It's healthy to talk about your day, but you don't need to tell him how many calories you consumed and how many times you visited the bathroom.
You don't need to be with your man constantly in order to prove your love for him. Do you think you're too attached to your man?
