There's certainly a fine line between devotion and obsession, but in the end it depends on what you're looking for in a relationship.

For me, a partner that devotes their entire life to me and my ambitions would be perfect. I could really see myself loving someone like that.

However other people may want their partner to be more autonomous and less "clingy". It is true that this kind of devotion to someone else can grow into something unhealthy, and the person may even stop growing as an individual (Not to mention the devastating effect it would have on him in case of a break up).

In the end, you should ask yourself whether you want a relationship with someone completely devoted to yourself, or someone who is your equal.
