How do you handle an obsessive relationship?

[Moonlander]

I remember a relationship I had when I was in college. The girl asked me out, and since I felt something for he too, I decided to give the relationship a try.
But gosh, the obsession was too much! Everything she does basically revolve around me, she doesn't have anything to on her own. This leaves no privacy for myself at all. It got to a point I couldn't take it anymore, so I broke off the relationship.
Of course, she didn't take it lightly. I was told she locked herself in her room and cried for days, even her academics suffered.
Thinking back, I wonder if there are better ways I could have handled things?
What do you think?

Never displease yourself to please another person. You definitely did the right thing for yourself. If you had stayed in that type of relationship for a long time, it will become toxic.

An obsessive relationship can be tiring, I don’t even understand how some people find it cute. There is nothing cool about it, and I do not wish to experience such.

An obsessive relationship is surely going to make you depressed. Too much obsession is not healthy. It's going to make the relationship to be problematic all the time.

There is nothing like too much obsession. Obsession on its own is not good at all, the moment you see that kind of attitude in the person you are dating you should be wary.
