Codependency is a painful place to be, and it can manifest itself in many ways. Do you crave validation from your partner? Are you always placing their needs above your own? In many cases, you probably feel wracked with guilt at the thought of doing something without them. You might even try to earn your right to a night out with affection and housework.

These codependent situations are not a healthy way to build a relationship, and they’re not sustainable. If one person feels like they’re sacrificing so much, they become resentful. The truth is, neither of you should be making those kinds of sacrifices.

The good news, however, is that this is a great opportunity for you! If you feel like all of the blame is on your partner, think again. Now is the perfect opportunity for self-growth and to change your relationship mindset. In today’s episode, you’ll learn how to step out of a codependent relationship and into a happy, healthier relationship with yourself.
