I know you are talking about me, just come out and say it. No, need to beat around the bush.

What usually happens with love is that in the beginning stages, normally known as puppy love. It can be a bit obsessive but it doesn't always stay that way and that's right. The beginning stages is a combination of lust and love mixed together or what the person feels is love but it's not really love.
Love between two people that last long DOES need a bit of space. Relationships with people that see their partner as the only person to socialize with doesn't last too long most of the time. That's why it's good to have a girls night out and guys night out pretty regularly when you are in a relationship to give your partner some space away. I have made it a point to never date someone that doesn't have any friends. If they don't , I know they will try to be all under me all the time and won't ever want me to do anything without them which is bad!
