8 Surprising Habits That Reveal You’re Slowly Losing Yourself in Your Relationship
This quote resonated with me, and I’ve seen its truth in many relationships.
When you’re codependent, your emotional state becomes directly tied to your partner’s. If they’re happy, you’re on top of the world. But if they’re upset, your day goes down the drain.
Sure, it’s natural to feel empathy for your partner and be affected by their mood to some extent.
But when their emotions start dictating yours or they become your only source of joy, that’s a red flag.
Mood contagion is real, but remember, you should have control over your own feelings. If this doesn’t sound like you, it might be time to check in on your relationship dynamics.
