Do you find yourself always putting others first? Are you always trying to fix your partner's problems? Do you need constant reassurance that you're loved? If so, you might be in a codependent relationship. Codependent relationships are unhealthy and can be toxic for both partners. In this video, we'll discuss the five signs of a codependent relationship.

00:00 - What is codependency?

00:44 - You're buying your love
In a codependent relationship, one partner often tries to buy love with gifts or favors. They think that if they do enough for their partner, they'll finally be loved and appreciated. However, this doesn't work because love can't be bought. Love is something that has to be earned through trust, respect, and intimacy.

01:35 - You're always trying to fix your partner's problems
In a codependent relationship, one partner often tries to fix their partner's problems. They think that if they can just help their partner enough, everything will be okay. However, this is not healthy because each person is responsible for their own happiness. It's not up to one person to try and fix another person's life. Besides, don't deprive your partner of the growth opportunities that come from solving their own problems.

02:53 - You're always needing reassurance
In a codependent relationship, one partner is always seeking reassurance from the other. They need constant reassurance that they're loved and appreciated. This can be exhausting for the other partner and is not healthy for you or your partner. Each partner should be confident in the love and appreciation they receive from the other - that should be the foundation of your relationship.

04:06 - You have weak boundaries
In a codependent relationship, one or both partners often have weak boundaries. This means that they allow their partner to control them or dictate their life. They may not have any hobbies or interests outside of their relationship, and they may give up their dreams and goals to please their partner. This is not healthy because each partner should maintain their own identity and individuality.

05:25 - You're always putting others first
In a codependent relationship, one partner is always trying to please the other. They put their partner's needs above their own and often sacrifice their own happiness for their partner's. This can be seen as caring and selfless, but it's actually not healthy. One partner should not have to always sacrifice themselves for the other.
