There are certain shows you should save for watching with your man. However, you're allowed to watch TV without him.
8. 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 shouldn't rely on him to clean your kitchen and pay your bills. Don't lose your independence.
10. You Turn down Fun Opportunities for Him
Do you turn down party invitations and overtime at work, because you know it'll take you away from your partner? That's unhealthy to do.
11. Your Parents Are Concerned
If your friends tell you that they're concerned about your unhealthy relationship, hear them out. They could have a point.
12. You Never Leave the House
You can't spend every single day cuddling with him. You need to go out and live your life eventually.
13. You're Neglecting Your Work
If you won't get your schoolwork or paperwork done, because you're neglecting it to focus on your relationship, there's a problem.
14. You Let Him Pull You Away from Family
If you blindly listen to your man when he tells you to stop talking to your bestie, then your relationship is unhealthy. You shouldn't do as he says without question.
15. 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.
16. You Shower Together
It's fun to shower together every once in a while, but it shouldn't be happening on a daily basis.
17. 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?
