About Codependent Relationship - Guide

It is an emotional and behavioral condition that affects an individual’s ability to have a healthy, mutually satisfying relationship. It is also known as “relationship addiction” because people with codependency often form or maintain relationships that are one-sided, emotionally destructive and/or abusive.

Co-dependent behavior is learned by watching and imitating other family members who display this type of behavior.

Are you noticing that most of your relationships are one-sided or emotionally destructive? Do you find yourself getting involved with the same types of unhealthy relationships

When your partner ceases to show interest in you or becomes indifferent to your presence, it could mean that you have a bad relationship. Sometimes, one partner dominates the other partner to extremes and even resorts to physical violence. Such a relationship can also be called a bad relationship. We all want to feel loved and safe in our relationships, but when we do not fail safe in each other's company anymore, it could also mean that the relationship has turned toxic or was never that great right from the beginning.
