Codependency is a fairly common occurrence in relationships.
How to Understand if a Relationship is Codependent
Codependency in relationships is a condition in which one or both partners are overly dependent on each other emotionally and psychologically.
This can lead to unhealthy dynamics and problems in the relationship.
One of the partners constantly seeks approval and confirmation of their actions and decisions from the other.
This may manifest itself in the form of constant questions about whether they are doing the right thing and the desire to please the partner at any cost.
Codependent people often sacrifice their needs and desires to meet the needs of their partner.
May give up their interests, hobbies, and even friends in order to please their partner and avoid conflicts.
Codependent people often feel responsible for their partner's emotions and moods.
They may feel guilty if their partner is upset or unhappy, and strive to do everything possible to fix the situation.
