Why do girls get so obsessed with their boyfriends?

[Kristie]

assuming from the many hearts in your name. I assume you're a girl as well.
I just have to say.

Amen Sister! corny statuses are the worst! I just want to shoot myself in the face!
I just comment and tell them that no one cares and they just go die in a hole. (:

It's not every girl though. There's very few girls who are obsessive though. It just seems like there's a million of them, because they're always in your news feed or up in your face about it.

Honestly, we have this sickening idea in our culture that has been perpetuated by technology that two people need to be attached at the hip- meaning that at all times, they need to be texting, or calling, or hanging out, or going on vacation, etc. My grandpa and my grandma were together for 50+ years before my grandfather died, and he was an excellent salesman and a father of 5 children. He would travel the country for a week a time, and back when they were young, there were no cell phones or readily available pay phones- he would tell me "Matty, I love your grammy because I never had to ask myself what she was doing when I wasn't home, because in my heart I knew she was just wondering the same thing about me and she'd be there when I got back." He and I were very close and he LOVED my grandma with all his heart- and he had one phone call with her a week those days. That's it, one fucking phone call for five minutes to let her know he was safe at his hotel. I'm no social scientist, but man... love does not require constant facebook updates, pictures, gifts, vacations, dates, texts, and everything else that it seems like it has become these days in order to chase a hot piece of ass down to get her to fuck you along with the 10 other guys she's banging, and then go do it all over again with 10 other girls. If that is what people are into these days, I'm sorry but that's just not love- not having the independence to have your own likes and interests to show other people, and to YOURSELF, who you are is disgustingly unattractive in my opinion. If you truly love someone that much, as bitter as it sounds, do not shove it down everyone's throats- we're happy you're happy but please, keep it to yourself. But I do not want a girl like that. Yick!

It's actually a totally natural, Scientifically proven point that this happens to both genders during the first two years of a relationship or so. The rush of hormones released at the onset of a relationship "binds" the couple together as it were. It's just a means of ensuring reproduction. The girl expresses this through her obsessive facebooking and the boy tolerates it because he's going through the same hormonal rush.

This obsession calms down after two years. This is when the "spark" goes and either the couple gets bored and drifts apart or they settle down into something much more comfortable and long term. It would be a general educated guess of mine that most young women between the ages of 16 and 25 are either becoming involved with someone for the first time or seeing different guys etc and on the whole are not going past those first 2 years of excitement. If you were to look at an older woman in a similar position she's probably doing the same thing, but many older women have already settled down with their guys.
