Sometimes, the concept known as codependency can be hidden behind the guise of love.

Codependent attachment often disguises itself as love, but in reality it is a destructive relationship.

Let's figure out what they are and how to recognize them in time.

Signs of codependency

A codependent person often becomes a shadow of his partner, and a number of telling signs indicate this.

For example, a codependent partner always agrees with his other half in everything, even his own opinion differs from it. All because he is afraid even of the thought of speaking out against his other half.

Secondly, codependency is characterized by the search for a stronger partner on whom any responsibility can be placed.

In codependent relationships, as a rule, there are no personal boundaries. It is from them that stories often arise about long-term beatings, which the victim is ready to constantly endure, just so as not to be left alone.
