This sounds co-dependent to me, not healthy at all.
- nathan_compton 3y agoIt would be if each partner we dedicated exclusively to the flourishing of the other partner. But in this relationship neither partner would find that an acceptable state of affairs.
- Barrin92 3y agoit's the opposite. What the OP is describing is simply altruistic love. You love someone for who they are, not how they relate to you. That is the only form of relationship that involves no dependency. Any relationship that makes your feelings for someone dependent on their feelings for you is effectively a complicated form of bargaining.
