Really enjoyed your article and could totally relate—at this point in my life.
My last marriage, and numerous other relationships, were so codependent and seemed to spawn co-addiction, which became/ended in a toxic mess.
Right away, after the end of that second marriage, I had several other prospects/relationships on the go.
I began to see patterns in both the partners I chose and then how the relationships evolved/devolved.
It wasn’t until I recognized this behaviour and consciously chose to be alone, and become comfortable with/enjoy it, did I come to understand the value of being on my own, at least for a while until I sorted things out and then transform myself.
I am now learning to love myself deeply as I am.
Thanks for sharing this
