Question I hear that term a lot, codependency, when it comes to relationships, but I honestly really don't know what it means. Like I know what it means to be dependent on someone either financially or emotionally, but what is codependency and how does it cause so many problems within a relationship? Why is it unhealthy? Also, what are the different forms of codependency? Thank you for your time.
Answer it's essentially when each person is emotionally dependent on the other for the bulk of their happiness/self-esteem; each person kinda acts as a "drug" that the other person badly needs to get by...it's not a terribly healthy situation, as it's based more on security than real loving, just as two people shooting up wouldn't be considered healthy; ideally, both people can exist fine on their own--the partner is "icing on the cake", but THEY remain the cake, complete as is..
