Codependency Support Group
Codependency is defined as someone who exhibits too much, and often inappropriate, caring for another person's struggles. A codependent person may try to change, or feel shame about their most private thoughts and feelings if they conflict with the other person's struggles.

I have this in my history. Does anyone else?
I am finding it popping up in my current relationship, and instead of giving into his demands, I am calling him on them and making effort to be aware of this. I still have a ways to go. I mean I like sex, too. It's just when sex is used to replace intimacy it is not healthy, when it is a bond when the relationship is not doing well, it is not healthy.
He is not accountable for the demands he places on me and how hurtful it is when he is otherwise unkind. I am not setting consistent boundaries, but am growing in this area.
I mean I understand there are various degrees of addiction, or questions whether or not sex is an addictive practice. Let me just say it applies to this situation and others in my history.

I think ANY process can become an addiction, and do not think there is a question about it. It could be work, internet, cleaning, sex. We can become addicted to anything.
