You have to see what the other person has started meaning to you. Has the other person assumed some kind of a larger-than-life importance in your eyes? Ask yourself, if someone else were to objectively evaluate this person, what kind of value would he give to him, be it purely on the person’s merits?
Obviously, when you are in a relationship, then you do tend to give an exaggerated value, which is alright, it’s part of being human. But if the fact is that the general audience is going to accord a value of five to that person, whereas in your eyes, in your behavior, the value is five hundred, then you must know that things are wrong—it’s berserk, rather.
