You know what, wether you are really an abusive person or not only you and your girlfriends know for sure. But if you truly are just the way you described it, then I see nothing wrong with it. It's only wrong if you are with a person who finds it suffocating. So perhaps you are a rather traditional kind of guy who needs a traditional kind of girl. That's all.
Unless there's just something genuinely sick in a person's make-up, what you need to make you emotionally secure and happy is fine as long as your partner is in agreement. You know; to each his own. Just my opinion.
I would suggest that you go a little slower when you embark upon a new relationship to see what kind of stuff the person is made of. Some women would love to have a guy giving them all that attention and would want to give you the same. Others would feel like they can't handle someone expecting so much of them all the time.
Vive le difference!
