I’ve seen connections fall apart because the one person decided they wanted more from life and the other one didn’t. It’s very common in codependent relationships or power imbalance connections where the bond is based on needing each other rather than genuinely thriving together. At the start, both people might be in a low place. Struggling emotionally, financially, mentally, socially. They cling to each other not from a healthy, fulfilling place but because it feels familiar. Safe. Like finally, someone understands that same kind of emptiness you’ve been walking around with.
