Scientific research shows we are “hardwired” to have attachments to, or “need”, other people. So everybody get over being so independent! “Co-dependence” was made up by a guy who didn’t like his wife. Couples are meant to be dependent on one another. This is a good thing. Embrace it!

Relationships are hard. And the good ones require that one drop all of those hard-earned defenses that we value so highly. And dropping those defenses, with the very person who could hurt you the most, is a big leap for most people. But it’s the only path to a truly rewarding relationship. If you expose yourself to the right person, it’s a great thing. If you expose yourself to the wrong person, it’s a misdemeanor. But seriously, if you make yourself vulnerable and it doesn’t work out – then it wasn’t the right relationship, and honestly you’re better off.
