Questions & Answers about Il mio fidanzato è molto innamorato di me.

Why is it il mio fidanzato and not just mio fidanzato?
You might remember that singular family members don't take the definite article (like mio padre or mia sorella). However, words for partners like fidanzato (boyfriend) or ragazzo don't count as family members for this rule, so you must include the article il.
Why does it say di me instead of con me for "with me"?
In English, we say we are "in love with" someone, but Italian uses the preposition di (usually "of") after the adjective innamorato. It's a set phrase you just have to memorize: essere innamorato di qualcuno (to be in love with someone).
Why is it di me instead of di mi?
Whenever a pronoun comes directly after a preposition like di, a, per, or con, you have to use a "stressed" pronoun. For the first person singular, that is me. The pronoun mi is only used right next to a verb (like lui mi ama - he loves me).
Since we are learning about reciprocal actions, how would I say "We are very in love with each other"?
You wouldn't usually use the adjective innamorato for this. Instead, you would use the reciprocal pronoun ci (which here means "each other") with the verb amare (to love): Ci amiamo molto (We love each other very much).
