Q: I am a 21 years old female, very possessive about my guy. Just because of this his feelings are dying. When he doesn’t call me or gets busy somewhere else, I start asking him plenty of questions, which irritate him a lot. I don’t want to lose him. But how do I overcome my obsessive tendencies?

A:The key to a relationship is trust and space, and one needs to build on them. If one would try and cross the boundaries and become too intrusive, there would be stress on the relationship. I suggest you consult a psychiatrist in your home city and discuss in person, it would be beneficial.
