Relationship Psychology - Fixer, Dependent, or Supporter

In your book, you talk about the three key roles we play in a relationship. And they are fixer, dependent, or supporter. We find that often the other person will take their role based on the role you play. If you're always fixing your partner's problems, if they have that natural personality type, they will fold into being dependent and letting you fix their problems. Then a year down the line, you're like, God, I'm so tired of fixing your problems. They're like, but you like doing it 12 months ago, like you showed me to be that way.
