Is it really a relationship at that point?

Sure it is. Both care, one less than the other. For example, one needing the other. The one needed would care less, the one needing would care more. If that makes sense. @SW-User

@GlitterBug That is an unhappy co-dependent relationship.

But is it co dependent if one does not need the other? @SW-User

@GlitterBug Yes. It is. Some people need to be the one in control, or the one who "cares less." That's the role they play in the co-dependent relationship.

Then that would only apply to someone who needs control. That doesn't mean it's always codependent. You could end up with control and not want or need it. For example, someone needs you, you don't need them. You want them. Their need vs your want means you'd be in control.

@GlitterBug Seems you have it all figured out. 🙄

I mean. I've thought on it a lot. Applied it to life, what I've seen. You're not helping me understand your position so apparently I do. You're wrong. Fact. If you were right then there is no such thing as a "healthy" relationship. @SW-User

@GlitterBug I suggest you read up on co dependence to gain a better understanding of what it is, and what it involves.
GlitterBug · 22-25, F
I'm aware of what it involves. And I did actually look it up, to make sure we're on the same page. You're wrong. @SW-User
