Too much love?

[ThatGuyKB]

Is there such a thing a too much Love or Attention? Is there such a thing as showing someone too much Love or affection? What does it mean when your wife says that she needs a "Break" from you?

[Matt04]

Usually when a woman says she needs a break from you, that usually means she needs a break from you because your smothering her to much to the point where she can't take it. Just let her have some time to calm down and all that and she'll come around after a bit of a break.

if you're in a healthy, happy and stable relationship i don't see a problem with too much love. it's how you convey it to this person... you can show too much affection and it can emotionally choke someone and it makes people look more controlling than loving. im assuming your 'break' question is related to the too much affection. i'd say take a step back a bit, let her have some time on her own, with her friends. ask her how her day went but at the end of the day, not as it happens...stuff like that.

Even though she's your wife, she needs time to spend by herself and with others that doesn't include you. She sees you every day because you live together and sleep in the same bed. Creating some space can be healthy for the two of you, especially if she's feeling smothered.

Thank you for the advice everyone! So what you all are telling me is that more than likely it is nothing against me when she wants a break? I mean are a lot of woman like this because I know my Wife very well and she is the type of woman that doesn't seek a lot of attention that I thoroughly enjoy showing her! And I am what you would call a "Feelings Person" and she is not. I am VERY emotional at times and she doesn't like showing her emotions. Also we don't live together at the moment as we have only been married for a short 3 1/2 months and we still live with our Mothers at this point in time. We are saving up for a place of our own. But I still try and go over to my Mother In-Laws to see her and spend the night when I can but after about 4-5 days she is tired of being around me because I have done nothing but shower her with Love and Affection the whole time I am there and she says she needs her "Space" and everyone that I talked to including her mother tells me that I just need to give her that "Space" that she needs and not to contact her until she contacts me. That drives me insane sometimes. Sometimes I feel as if I love her more than she loves me! Like if she only showed me half the attention that I show her I would be in heaven! Guess I still have A LOT to learn in my young 26years of life so far!

So what everyone is saying is that I should just back off and not INSIST that I keep going over there and soon she will realize just how much she misses me and SHE will be the one calling me over there right? That sure would be nice for once! I guess it is just the type of person that she is....she has been through A LOT in her life....of course who hasn't now a days. Well I will try and give it a shot and back off a little...I am lined up go and see her tomorrow night and spend the night with her. Then I will be going back to my mothers house Tuesday night. Then I probably won't get to see her until the weekend. So I should play it cool tomorrow night and not "Smother" her and then kinda back off and not contact her and see how long it takes her to contact me huh???

She's probably sick of you being clingy and girl-like (the "very emotional" thing is quite tiresome).

Personally, I would take this as a clue that she wants you to be have with more strength.

As long as she's not asking alone time to do things behind your back

[kitkitkitty]

i don't think she'll be asking you to come round more often if you back off... it'll turn into a standard pattern for the both of you cos she'll be happy with this arrangement. and wow, bit of a personality miss-match. i hope it works for you.
