Polarity Of Dependency Styles

- Different cultural and developmental histories shape how much people expect to rely on partners.
Work Together To Shift Capacity
- Do the inner work together so the more independent partner can acknowledge dependence at times.
- Build capacity to be independent and also admit reliance within the relationship.
Independence Can Undermine Long-Term Bond
- Over time extreme independence can erode connection if the other partner needs closeness.
- Mismatched desire for connection versus separateness can lead to eventual separation.
