Feeling Trapped and Fearing Abandonment

Despite the prevalence of codependent women, I see many codependent men in my private practice. Theres a dance that codependent couples do, and it takes two who know the steps. If you think your wife is codependent, theres a good chance you are, too. Often codependent men are attracted to women who are needy, demanding, jealous, or critical. Men become dependent on their wives approval, and then feel trapped by their manipulation, demands, or expectations. Some are involved with women who are abusive, or never satisfied or appreciative. Theyre unable to set boundaries and fear emotional retaliation and/or rejection, including withholding of sex.

5. Youre Defined By Your Relationship

Codependency is so difficult to detect because the sacrifices a person makes can easily be mistaken for healthy expressions of love. For men, who are historically less prone to commitment, being defined by a significant other seems like a romantic, even noble way to go against the grain. The problem is that holding relationships accountable for your identity doesnt work and only leads to an exhausting and unhealthy way of connecting with someone you clearly care a lot about. Needing another person that much makes for a good love song, but ultimately a bad relationship.Lähteinä: https://medium.com/relationships-101/the-dilemma-of-codependent-men-75a… SEKÄ https://www.fatherly.com/health/signs-men-codependent-relationships
