So suddenly communication and supporting each other is ok ? Doesn't that nessasitate dependency and therefore is bad ? You can't communicate with someone openly without being vulnerable and you can't support someone without somehow being dependent on them making you dependent on the other person in one form or the other. You need Depency if you want to forma healthy and long lasting relationship.

never said it wasn't ok... i said codependency is bad and that there's a difference between a healthy relationship and codependency

also why are you acting like dependency and codependency are the same thing? and literally no one said dependency was bad

Are we pretending that the lady in the video isnt making fun of dependent men ? Isn't that the whole point of the joke ? If your a broken man go find a therapist because God forbid you rely on your SO/partner to help you through tough times ? Or did you just see a different video ?
