In reply to Buck. “I see it as consensual and aware interdependence.” I am the sort of person who translates words in my head to fit the meaning of what the person is trying to say…but I really love how you phrased that! Mind if I steal it for future use?
I really like this perspective. I’m a person who thrives on collaborative relationships, whether family, friends, lovers. I want to be wanted by someone I want. and needed in the same way. I don’t see this as co-dependent. I see it as consensual and aware interdependence.
“Most of my loves have been casual. I’m addicted to love. If every love were my all consuming love, I’d be exhausted.” Oh boy howdy, you hit my nail right on the head! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwmLAlEVcWM&ab_channel=Musicandlyrics555
AS a pastor of mine used to say in sermons…”If ya cain’t say amen, say OUCH”!!!!
