Have you ever experienced any kind of relationship (friendly/dating/professional) where only one partner was giving, and the oth
er partner was always taking? How did that relationship feel for you? Tell me about a healthy relationship you have. Is there anyone you know that no matter what happens, they will always love and support you? How does it feel to know that you have that person to turn to when things get hard? Why is it important to have a life outside the relationship? What does interdependence mean, and why is it a good thing?
Yes I have. It made me feel sad and honestly a bit annoyed but if I stopped giving, there would be nothing left. A healthy relationship I have is with my dad. I know that no matter what happens in life, he will be by my side. He might not agree with my choices, but he will always love me. He has proved that time and time again. It makes me very happy to know that I have him to talk to about anything. It makes me feel more happy and content than I could describe. It's important to have a life outside of that relationship because if I spend all my time focusing on that relationship, I will never have time to focus on anything else. Interdependence means to be dependent on each other, and it's a good thing because if somebody needs you, you can always count on them to be there when you need them.
