I somewhat disagree with the assertion that the object determines whether or not the subject's attentions are excessive. While true in a legal sense, psychologically the object may be a mess too and crave unhealthy attentions because they are needy or insecure. I would draw the line where the object is no longer seen as a seperate entity, but rather an extension of the subject's own being. This will be tough to see from the inside, but a good psychologist or an insightful person would be able to tell if they were given access to the subject.He's got the Midas touch.
But he touched it too much!

Devotion seems to be timeless. Sustainable. Obsession moves on after a while (for both the obsessor and the obsessee) and is not sustainable.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

I have a good friend and she obssesses over everything, especially her men
yes men
she clings on to them and scares them away because of this. we (wifey and I) try and tell her this, but her mind is always on her man, even if he is not around
a few months ago she came over so that we would take her to the airport to visit a long lost love, and for a whole day we heard nothing but "I can't believe I am going to see him", "I miss him so much", "I wonder if he's changed much" (she means physically)... Anyway, she went and came back and two days later was on to a new guy who she can't shut up about.
I think you're obsessing if your friends tell you that you need to stop talking about him
or
if you have no friends

i think the difference is....
obsession is selfish... wants to posess ...wants only what it wants and is unable to see anything but need.
and doesn't care about the feelings of the one obsessed over.
devotion on the other hand... is selfless.. wants the one loved to be happy even at the expense of self."If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun." -Katherine Hepburn
