hmm..
Sometimes we let ourselves become too dependant on other people- not that we mean to. The only input I have on this is that individuals should work on being just that- indidviduals- before they can even begin to think about bringing anyone else into the picture. If you do not know or like yourself how on earth can you expect anyone else to? Many problems in relationships can often times be linked to too much dependancy. Not that you shouldn't be able to depend on your partner, just know the limit. Basically, just keep in mind that every flood begins as a drop of rain.
