Post Body

I'm currently in therapy for my relationship, in which I have codependency issues with my NPD partner. The relationship is on the way down the drain.

In therapy, a weird thought came in my head. I had been asked to consider why I loved her so much while being brutally honest with myself. I went through all the usual stuff - but then got stuck. This got me to think...did I only love her because she needed me?

Is it possible that my relationship been half-built on the dark side of my codependency?

Have you ever had any similar reflections in your relationships?
