Codependency in M/s relationships

[thir]

What is had basically come down to was I want to make a big change in my life, I don't like the town I live in and I am ready to move. My Master wants to move eventually but isn't ready yet, still needs to do some things. I had been asking if I was wrong of me to put my plans on hold to wait until my boyfriend is ready to join me in the move.

I think it quite ordinary that a couple try to stay together. If that is all this is about, then forget about 'co-dependence.'

I think it quite ordinary that a couple try to stay together. If that is all this is about, then forget about 'co-dependence.'

I'm reminded of Chesterton's comment about the way psycho-babble medicalises normal human behaviour - "like saying a man has a proboscis in the middle of his face, or that he falls down in a coma for eight hours every day." If you need each other and want to stay together, are you "co-dependent"? Or are you just in love?

I'm planning to move to Sweden, partly because I love the place, but mostly because thir needs to go there and I want to stay with her. I don't call that "co-dependent," I call it wanting to be with someone I love. Sounds like you are the same.
