To walk a fine lineIntimacy vs. codependence. Here's what can help you see the difference
— The desire to share your emotions is
intimacy. Trying to impose your moods -
codependency.— Talking openly about what you're not happy with in a relationship is
intimacy. Imposing blame on the other for relationship problems -
codependency.
— Having your OWN social circle and letting the other have theirs is
intimacy. NOT having any connections outside your relationship -
codependency.
—
Having your priorities and interests and sharing them with your partner is
intimacy. CHANGING your values to suit your partner or trying to change his/hers to suit you -
codependence.
The main thing is to
strike a balance
