Dependency in relationships seems normal, but in this matter everything is not so clear-cut.
If one of the partners loses independence in the relationship, problems may begin.
Therefore, it is worth remembering several signs that a woman is dependent on a man in a relationship.
Loses its identity
One of the clear signs of dependence on a man is the loss of one’s own identity.
At this point, she begins to focus entirely on her partner, forgetting about her own interests, goals, and dreams. He becomes the "shadow" of his partner, having lost his independence and individuality.
Emotional dependence
Another important sign is emotional dependence. The woman begins to rely excessively on her partner for support, approval, and love.
It also creates a false sense that emotional well-being is directly dependent on how the partner feels.
Renunciation of independence
Dependence on a man also manifests itself in the desire to avoid independence. A woman begins to avoid making decisions on her own, preferring to always discuss them with her partner and rely on his opinion.
This leads to the fact that a woman simply does not make key decisions in her life and makes typical mistakes, which ultimately become destructive.
Denial of problems
As a rule, many women deny their own dependence and often say phrases like: “This is how it should be in a normal relationship.”
However, turning a blind eye to the problem is not a solution. Over time, deeper problems will begin to emerge, but it will be much more difficult to change anything.
No boundaries
An important sign of dependence on a man is the lack of clear personal boundaries.
If a woman does not know how to set boundaries in a relationship, allowing her partner to interfere in all areas of his life, then this gradually destroys her. Personal boundaries should always be there, otherwise it will not be possible to build a relationship.
