My boyfriend is very intelligent & fun but he is constantly analyzing & drag every issue out and is emotional

Anonymous
My boyfriend is extremely loving, kind and fun but he blows everyday things out of proportion - I mean, to be fair, I would consider them everyday things. I would not describe him as "dramatic" pe say but he analyzes absolutely every move I make and things I say. He is not the controlling type or possessive type but becomes obsessed with things great and small to do with us. I can understand that this is the first time he is "falling in love" and it is scary but after close to a year of a solid relationship, shouldn't he be pretty relaxed? It is not abnormal for him to want long, serious discussions about our relationship and how what I said hurt him for over 3-4 hours which inevitably leave me exhausted, frustrated and in tears. God knows that this strain he is putting on our relationship is more damaging than anything. I was actually surprised to find out how sensitive he is after seeing him in a work-environment where he is extremely non-emotional and strong.

I don't know what to do anymore. I cannot keep up with his train of thought and emotions. I love him tremendously and want our relationship to work more than anything.

Can you please offer some advice?
