692 Navigating Codependent Relationships When You're in Recovery + They're Not

Feb 25, 2025

Are you in a relationship with a high-functioning codependent (HFC)?

Are both you and your partner HFCs?

In my experience, HFCs tend to flock together. Many of my friends identify as HFCs, and my husband is also an HFC. 

Some of you have asked how to navigate relationships with fellow HFCs, especially as you get into recovery and become more aware of (and perhaps annoyed by) their behavior. 

If you can relate, this episode is for you because I’m talking about the dynamics of high-functioning codependency in relationships, how I’ve managed this in my marriage, and steps you can take to stay on your side of the street while shifting this dynamic into a healthier space.
