1. Codependent Relationships
A relationship that one (or more likely both) of you are reliant on the other to function.
This type of relationship totally forfeits the independence of the individual to become whatever the other person needs.

If you are totally independent of your partner, you may be entirely lacking empathy. You can come off arrogant, insensitive, and uninterested because you are completely wrapped up in yourself. Another foundational piece of a relationship is honesty.
Be independent enough to have the freedom to be yourself without codependence but not so unavailable that you are never there for your partner.
Find the balance together.

3. Dominant/Submissive Relationships
The unhealthy version of the first two, it takes the negative sides of both to an extreme. One person in the relationship exerts total control over the other.
There are two sides to this unhealthy relationship.

If we don’t, this kind of relationship is often the result.
If you try to find someone to complete you, rather than finding that in yourself, you will end up being a relationship chameleon.
