Understanding Co-Dependent Relationships and Taking Responsibility for Your Own Happiness

A co-dependent relationship is one where each person takes responsibility for the other's happiness. This can lead to a need for control and a lack of clear communication. In co-dependent relationships, people often avoid expressing their true desires and boundaries for fear of upsetting the other person. This is because they are afraid of the potential negative emotions that may arise if the other person gets upset with them. The key to breaking free from co-dependency is for each person to take responsibility for their own happiness and well-being. This involves being honest and open about one's wants and needs, rather than acting out of obligation or duty. By doing so, individuals can avoid building up resentment and establish healthier and more fulfilling relationships.
