A Man's Guide To Ending Codependency

NOTE

Embrace Mutual Responsibility and Disappointment Exposure

Maintain your own sovereignty and independence by engaging in acts of selfishness. Create a list of activities that empower you and contribute to your independence and sovereignty, such as daily workouts, meditation, spending time with friends, or learning new hobbies. In a healthy relationship, both individuals are responsible for themselves and actively support each other's independent choices. It's about being responsible for yourself and choosing to do that together with your partner. Additionally, it's important to expose yourself to disappointment in order to build a higher threshold for it. People in codependent relationships often have a very low threshold for disappointment, both in terms of disappointing the other and being disappointed by the other. Exposing yourself to disappointment is akin to exposure therapy and can help increase your tolerance for disappointment in the relationship.
