When I was in a relationship I definitely experienced this. It was worse in the immediate months following my first attempt. It became too overbearing for me, I needed him and everyone else to take a step back to give me a chance to actually live. It settled down but that worry never went away for him. And he did always check up on me, even if I thought I was doing ok and didn't need it.

How do you feel about him doing this though? Is it something you can live with? Would you prefer him to take a step back maybe?
