9 Shocking Ways Love Influences Your Brain

Overprotective mode activated

It has become a pop culture trope for boyfriends in movies and TV shows to lose their cool when they believe their lady has been insulted. While that cliche is ridiculous, it does have an unexpected basis in truth.

When you love someone, you become overprotective of them. This is related to feeling less judgmental. Not only are you more likely to ignore your partner’s imperfections, but you’re also more likely to become overly protective if someone else attempts to critique them.

Being overprotective is cute in modest doses. But, keep in mind that your spouse is capable of taking care of themselves.
