what makes you say it’s slightly co dependent as opposed to just being co dependent

Because overall we can be separate and live mostly day to day but i’ve gotten to the point that I have full breakdownS at the thought of him leaving and he goes into pretty much full shut down for the same reason. And if either one of us is having problems especially emotionally the other one is literally the only one that can take care of the other anymore, and we’re physically hurting and cry quite often (mostly me because that’s just more how I apparently express my emotions) because we can’t be together as much as we’d like, we’re hoping it calms down once we live together

Codependent means a relationship that’s dependent on each other in an unhealthy way, we mostly can deal with life but we both acknowledge we would kind of break without each other, like we already have full shut downs or breakdowns at times
