Co-dependency

We are in a co-dependent relationship when we cling to another person despite their emotional immaturity. Imagine your partner drinks heavily, and when you try to lovingly tell him to stop, he erupts in anger every time. Or perhaps your partner has an obsession with you being unfaithful when you’re not. Breaking free from a co-dependent relationship can be challenging, but it’s not impossible. This stress can lead to other problems, even addiction, as people turn to drinking or drugs to cope.

A relationship like the ones described above would typically end, but there’s an inability to do so, like feeling trapped.
