Community Psychologist & Licensed Clinical TherapistWell, I think it kind of depends on in what way he is overly obsessed. Sometimes in new relationships, it can feel like someone has a higher sex drive or sexually obsessed with you. It could be a good conversation to have about. Try saying something like "Is there more in this relationship than just sex for you? What else do you see in this relationship for us? I'm concerned that this is sex phase for you."
Tips
- If your boyfriend doesn’t take you seriously, it may be time to rethink the relationship.Thanks
