Tips In Avoiding Codependency Relationships

By Karyn Shields


If you become a codependent, the one who will suffer is not only you but your partner as well. Being a codependent just means that you are giving something in the relationship just so you can get something out of it. If you go on with that kind of codependency mindset in this relationship, sooner or later, this relationship will go downhill.

If you do not want to cause grief to your partner, then you have to make sure that you do not turn yourself or your partner into a codependent. It will be good for you if you can take advantage of a few tricks so that you can avoid turning the situation into something like that. To avoid such situations, here are tips you can take advantage of.

First, you need proper counseling. Through proper counseling, you turn yourself into a healthy individual. Indulging yourself in a healthy relationship is possible then once you become a healthy individual. It should not be difficult for you to improve the relationship you have with your partner if you are healthy personally.

Being a codependent means that you are offering what you expect you will get. If you do not wish to become like that, then you have to give your all into the relationship and expect nothing in return. You need to give your unconditional love to your partner. Appreciate and enjoy the relationship without neglecting your other relationships as well.

It will be good for you if you can address your pain. You cannot avoid situations where you will feel hurt or you will get angry. There can be a cause to that. If you do not want to ruin your relationship just because of your pain, you have to look for the cause of that behavior. You will then have to address that and provide solution.

Personal boundaries are necessary for people to have. It does not matter whether or not you are already intimate with your other half. These personal boundaries should be kept not only for your sake but for the sake of your partner as well. You must always respect the personal boundary the two of you agreed to set up.

You might get in a heated argument with your partner. In such situations, no matter how angry you are, you better not insult your partner. Do not call them any names. Do not label them. No matter how much anger you feel, you better phrase the arguments you make in a way that will not make them feel insulted.

Your partner might be the one giving the insults though. In such situations, you should think about why your partner has said that. It might just be because your partner feels like you are not doing enough. You better convert the words your partner makes into the words that are really being said in that argument.

You cannot avoid conflicts. Whenever you and your partner gets into a conflict, you should not forget to think up of a conflict resolution that can help you make up with each other. At times, it is better to decide on the conflict resolution method together. Pick one where the two of you is satisfied to use.
