This reminds me of him telling Judith Hill that he wanted to take up all of her time. I think this was part of the "intensity" women talked about when describing their relationships with him. All the way back to Vanity saying that she and Prince were once so close it was scary. I think he drank you up, focused on you, gave you all he had, even worshipped you, and I think if you didn't want to live forever entirely in his world and you left, those abandonment fears would kick in. This is sooooo common. Most people are like this; they just don't get talked about as much. If this is the case, he might've not really known this about himself. Especially when it was happening.

This made me think of how Morris Hayes described P as being an "all in type of brotha".

Sorta like when he was making movies...that was his interest at the time and he threw himself into writing, directing, acting...Sometimes with better results than other times...But I get the feeling P was giving his all, regardless of how things ended.

Even in other relationships, I think P fell off the balcony and lost himself in whomever was the "project" at the time.

He was sorta like a quasar...I laughed at the definition when comparing it to P.
