Hey GL:

Thank you for responding! My codependency displayed itself in both ways: I dropped everything to care for him, and wanted him to do the same for me. From the very beginning of our relationship he never had any issue with telling me no. Which is good. He did what he could always and always let me know he loved me.

I fear no one will love me in the way he did, no one will be there for me consistently, no one will ever want to date/marry me. I feel like being in a relationship is my purpose and without that I feel hopeless.
