HJFinAZ: I always thought that to be co-dependency...
Nope.
Walking away from something you want very much, is not co-dependency.
Doing something anonymously is not co-dependency.
Putting yourself in danger to save another is not co-dependency.
Co-dependency often depends on your partner acknowledging your kindness, or seeing you as someone to depend on, or even knowing that you do kind acts in the first place, and being the other half of what you do, usually in a negative way.
Co-dependency suggests two people participating in whatever act.......
GingerBe: I have never been in love, but I have loved many people dearly. I know that what I felt was love, because I would sacrifice my happiness for theirs.
I made the ultimate sacrifice for one very special man many years ago. He followed me over half the world for a couple of years, and I never once even considered taking the heart he so freely offered, (even though my heart ached to be with him), because it would not have been the right thing to do.
He went on to do great things and I never regretted my decision.
Yes, I really really loved a man. With all my heart and being. I never had before or since known a love like that. I loved even the air that he breathed. Just when I thought I loved him so much that I could possibly not love him anymore I found out I did. For decades we talked about when the honeymoon would finally be over. That was the last words I said to him I bent over to kiss him good-bye and said "The honeymoon is finally over." To love like that is the best.

BoyracerBMW: ....how did you know it was the real thing?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v7rDQEF9Rc
Yes, and I still love her. Always and forever, as I always tell her.
She's my friend, my sister, my crazy drinking buddy, my confidante, who knows how to get me to tell her, what I'd never admit to anyone else, and who can always make me laugh and cry. Life is never boring with her.
Here's to Baby Dragon, the most awesome girl in the world.
