    This applies to men too. Johnny Depp is a good example. He would have been what psychotherapists call codependent in that relationship. I’ve always hated the term. There is a book called Codependency Recovery Plan. It’s about recognizing when boundaries are being breached and so forth.

    Agreed that this doesn’t apply in all situations, especially with women. It asked for an opinion though. I was in a situation and had to accept accountability for my own actions to prevent it from happening again. Statistics show that if you don’t resolve the issue of responding to red flags after being in a “codependent” relationship, you’re more likely to end up in another. Worked for me but maybe not for all environments.
