I especially liked that this article is written for both men and women. It gives me a greater understanding of how codependency can work against you, and what is needed to avoid it in the future.

It is an excellent article and I would highly recommend the membership take a look at it.

Much of it hangs off the author (Tara Palmatier) claim that co-dependence is the core problem that holds people in dysfunctional relationships.
And elsewhere in the blog of this person she expounds on that theory - in particular the fact that "co-dependence" can look awfully like "love" until you take a fully objective and honest look at your deal.

Anyway, the article debunks 10 commonly held beliefs and puts them up for scrutiny.
If you are in any way interested in challenging your thinking, take 15 minutes to have a read of the linked article that Brother greatcoastal has kindly shared with us.
