“My boyfriend wants to be with me every second”

What could be going on

Anxious-preoccupied attachment: Fits if time apart makes him anxious; check whether he calms when you check in.

Fusion versus intimacy: Fits if closeness for him means merging into one life with no separate parts.

Can't be alone: Check whether he struggles with being alone in general, not just from you.

Enmeshment: Check whether he grew up in a family with blurred boundaries.

Coercive control: If togetherness is enforced and your absences punished, it's control.

Limerence: Early infatuation can feel all-consuming; check whether it's new and likely to settle.
