Codependency in relationships occurs when two people become so emotionally dependent on one another that functioning independently becomes difficult. Often, one person takes on a more passive role, struggles with confidence, relies heavily on being cared for, and has difficulty making decisions. The other person may become more dominant or controlling, frequently taking charge and gaining a sense of purpose or satisfaction from making decisions and caring for their partner.
Healthy relationships naturally involve giving, receiving, and supporting one another. Interdependence is healthy because both people can rely on each other while continuing to grow, build resilience, and maintain their own identities. Codependency goes beyond this healthy balance and can negatively affect the emotional well-being, independence, and personal growth of both partners.
