How we lose ourselves in relationships.

Sometimes it seems to us that to love someone means to completely dissolve in this person, but self-sacrifice often underlies codependent relationships and various forms of violence. We forget about our own interests. Harmonious relationships are not about a leader and a follower. It is the 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 a warning sign. Such a person might even sacrifice their career, forget about a beloved hobby, and other important things. Don't forget about yourself, try to find time for your own desires as well.
