My husband has huge codependency issues. He said the reason why he got together with me and married my ass was so that he could "take care of me." I want to know more about what codependency actually is and why he tries to do do do for me then gets overloaded and crashes. He does this a lot. WHY does he do this? What makes a person become co dependent? Can someone here explain to me why my husband behaves the way that he does?

yep dated that, problems start to happen in that type of relationship when we grow up and move on having a life outside of the home. l find men like that tend to be slighty insecure, they prefer to have the upper hand when we become equal and can answer back it hits the fan....well for them

If your soul is crawling ... who do you think you're going to crash with?
Yes, another crawler creature.

There is no such thing as "independent codependant". He had his own issues before he met you, and he was crawling to find someone to care, so he had not to look at his own mess.

Codependat it's a role he plays, but you should not buy it.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
