what do you say we should depend on the one's whome you love like hell. spending time with them and sharing your emotions is good or bad.what if that person cheats on you ? will you be handle yourself or get into deepression.then that means you should not depend on anyone. how is it possible to live by not depending on others?
it's like you do it you will fall, if you don't do it then too you fall. either way you have to fall. what do you guys have to say about this?

Dependency is never OK. A person who is dependent is not a complete person, and a relationship requires two WHOLE people if it's to work!

I believe that when you love somebody, you have to be prepared to lose that person. That person should be free to come and go. It's really up to that person if he/she wants to stay. Love should be freely given. It's so much better to receive love borne out of free will rather than a sense of obligation or guilt.
I also believe that a person who loves should teach the other to be independent. Loving means giving your loved ones wings instead of crutches. Some people want to keep their relationship with another person by making that person dependent on them, which should never be the case if the relationship were to be healthy. Dependency is never healthy. It makes the dependent one a parasite, and it places undue burden on the other person.

I think even in a relationship we should love our self more, and not all the time we have to depend on that someone. Cause we still have a life to make nothing in this world is permanent but only your self. I know also that when your in love you forget that you have your own identity, your own space and your own time. Well one thing you also have to reach your goals and never stop achieving it. Well not all relationship is made in heaven but you make the most of it. Well if she cheated me, I'll just leave her if she is really meant to be their will be a way. One should take the consequences. And their are reason why it happened. Still if I still do something about myself and do things that I wanna do this is my fall back. Have a nice day!
