Codependency struggles

I feel like I’m getting stuck in a codependent relationship and I’m scared. I need help figuring out how to handle this because I want to ask him for space and if all our conversations for awhile can be light and casual instead of so much heaviness but I’m worried he’s going to freak out over it. I want us back together so badly but I don’t feel emotionally safe with him right now, am noticing a lot of red flags, and realized how codependent we are.

I know it's hard but ultimately if the relationship is going to work, you need boundaries, clear communication and trust. I genuinely hope that he listens and you can get the space that you need, but please never ignore red flags 💕💜

@daydreamer2421 If you notice such moments - this is definitely a good sign to take a break/rethink everything that is. This is a difficult situation for both, because it is understandable from both his and your side, but if there are problems - you need to talk. Fear, panic, fear of offending and so on - all this will lead to an even greater impasse. If you want to build an honest and transparent, healthy relationship, you need to do this. If this does not work out - then they have no future, most likely. This is not a scare, but just a fact, in the future such people will have a much more difficult and difficult time. So try to find time and talk, maybe this will be a new circle of relationships for you, or it may end in a grave for them. But hang in there!
