OFP,

Google healthy detachment in relationships and review the info in the live strong link.
This can provide you with a short clear picture of what is needed and why it is healthy to be in a relationship with a healthy detachment to avoid codepency.
There is much information to aid you in your understanding of codependent relationships and how they are unhealthy emotionally and mentally.

I believe that the terms detachment and codependent are two misunderstood terms by so many. But there is a lot of info to help clarify them.
Healthy detachment aids partners in relationships to avoid codependency.
We have all heard that it is better that 2 whole individuals make a better relationship than 2 persons that need someone else to pick up their slack.

I am still researching and studying this to better understand it myself so hopefully this can give you something to start off with if you were looking for more about codependent relationships.
