Losing Ourselves in Relationships: The Importance of Self-Care

How we lose ourselves in relationships. Sometimes it seems to us that loving someone means completely dissolving in that person, but self-sacrifice often lies at the core of codependent relationships and different forms of violence. We forget about our own interests. Harmonious relationships are not about dominance and submission. It is a union of two complete individuals, each with their own interests, desires, and goals. But if one partner consistently gives up their desires for the sake of the other, it's already a warning sign. Such a person may even sacrifice their career, forget about their favorite hobbies, and other important things to them. Don't forget about yourself, try to find time for your own desires too.
