I've seen it a lot with my clients where couples get into heated arguments because they feel emotionally responsible for each other.  Interestingly this helped see it in my own relationship where I would make my fiancee responsible for my own emotional well-being.  When you make others responsible for your well-being you nit pick at everything they do, because everything they do carries the heavy weight of your emotional wellbeing.  I noticed that whenever my relationship was not doing well, I was felt terrible.  I couldn't enjoy my life because I would allow my relationship troubles to consume me.  And it consumed me because I made my relationship , among one of the many things outside of myself, responsible for my happiness.  True peace of mind was achieved when I made myself the primary source of my happiness, peace of mind, wisdom, you name it!
