    My boyfriend and I just got together, and I feel like I'm a little too obsessive and am scaring him away. I can't help it, I have very intense feeling and don't know ow to express them. I also don't know how out he wants our relationship to be.

    Maintain your own hobbies/activities and relationships with friends/family, so you don't feel like you have to be glued to his hip. Remember, no one is perfect, and your happiness should come from your own self-development (which he can help but not control).

    Also, if you don't know something, then ask him. That's basically the process of "Define The Relationship (DTR)", where each person says what they want and then they come to some agreement.

    I have asked him, but he only gave me a basic response. I can't tell my family about him because they're transphobic and he is trans.

    Ask for a more extensive response, or find other ways to manage your feelings of obsession.
