I've had the same issue Orich. Kids bring a whole new dynamic. I've learned to "go with the flow" a lot more on just about every issue. (I still put up an arguement when she ways that she wants to call it quits.)

She comes and goes as she pleases and I don't criticize ANYTHING!

C-Bart - I agree with you on the CO-Dep thing. My wife read a book then went to an IC essentially to get told she's Co-Dep. Now all I hear is how "sick" and "unhealthy" it is to do things for other people. How it's wrong to do anything for anyone except for herself and how she needs only to worry about her own happiness now. You're right, the label was for the bavhiors of alcohilic's spouses. It's an extreme bahavior. Now that the W has been "diagnosed" (after relling IC everything that she read in the book) she is now a victim. Not responsible for any of her actions.

I have a tendancy to love hard, be needy and clingy, but codependent? Nope. I'm not a victim and I don't have a disorder.
