Why would someone choose to be in a relationship that was extrememly codependant... And then call another female to talk about it all the time??

Is it better to be in this 3rd grade mockery than to be in no relationship at all??? I understand the not liking to be alone thing but...really?!?!?

And what about the one who gets called all the time...who has become the "stand in" with none of the physical perks! WHAT IS THAT????

Just confused looking for insight.....sigh dunno

Being there for a friend doesn't mean you have to get dragged into the quicksand with said friend. There's nothing wrong with sticking up for yourself and just saying you're not going to play a part in the "3rd grade mockery" professor

There's nothing going on...please don't mistake me....I'm not a cheater/cheatee and am disgusted by such things....

It's the constant leaning on me.....when I am a little blushing

We hang out a lot in the same circle...and he rarely brings her out with friends

I feel like there is an emotional relationship going on with one....physical with the other....

Why would someone want that?!?!
Am I being "played"...there has NEVER been anything physical
But I'm the one crying moping

Do I need to stop answering the phone at this point????? dunno sigh

Yes, I think you need to stop answering the phone and if this person stops you and asks why your not around just be blunt and up front and say that you have your own matters to attened too right now.

And if this person can't understand then, well dear your better off finding new friends.

Just my 2 cents worth tonight~professor

I think I would stop answering the phone at this point. If the person is extremely codependent as you have stated, then I think that make you an enabler??? In my honest opinion, that is not fair to you at all.

Just my 2 cents...wave comfort hug

Why? Because they can. So long as you keep answering the phone, they will continue to call.

People do things for different reasons. It's difficult to understand and trully know their motives, as sometimes they themselves may not know why.

Brilliant sweetheart ...... as usually conversing grin

I would go on on answering a phone ... talk to him friendly ... as a friend. If he likes talk to her that means she has something to offer as a listener or an adviser. There is nothing wrong with it .... Talk to him about this situation

Cool down and cheers

Many many people seek to feel good about them self bye degrading another and or seek pity to get in a woman's pants.

My partner treats me bad or there constantly whining upsetting me or---they are hoping the other person will make them feel better!

It's the perfect sign that the person doing it is also co-dependent!

That's so funny that two people come together saying they love each other but within three years will become so co-dependent that that will both use the other in ways to build their own self image!
