In a bond between two people, it is important that both dependence and independence are simultaneously maintained.
When a relationship is dependent in a toxic way, the freedom and satisfaction of both parties can lessen, creating tensions. When a person in a relationship is completely independent, the freedom often doesn’t allow for any intimacy or genuine time together.
