WTF happens after happily ever after?!?

You guys are the best! You are an example of how love can evolve even deeper without the clinginess. Very healthy and mature. I wish you both many, many years together !

I think people confuse interdependence with codependency. The first is more an interaction with others, but not at a necessity. You are still autonomous. Codependency you, your partner, or both rely on each other for functionality. And any degree of seperation triggers a fear of abandonment and anxiety. Granted it takes time to develop a trust and security to diminish the codependency. But even if present early on in a relationship, I'd think there would be signs of "clingyness" that stepped beyond creating a foundation for the relationship, and instead reflected a cage. So true, falling into love is easy. Growing is harder. But, if you take the time, listen, and pay attention to your SO when your falling. Growing is far less difficult, because you don't have to constantly relearn the old. And continue to focus on the new. =)
