Always!

Codependency is very different than interdependence. We are a social species and we all depend on each other to some degree.

A codependent person compromises their own values or integrity to avoid rejection or anger

A codependent person is extremely loyal but will remain in a harmful situation too long.

A codependent person may accept sex when what they want is love.

This may seem like a good thing for the other person but in constantly supporting and enabling the other person's behavior, you are limiting their growth and encouraging destructive behavior. Codependent people also tend to attract abusive and controlling personalities.

Codependency is never a good thing for anyone. It is a painful way to live for you and those around you. It is a difficult pattern of behavior to break and probably best addressed with individual therapy, a group such as Codependents Anonymous, or both.
