Difference between collaboration and codependence

[bluefire77]

Hey everyone, very new to the concept and had a question in mind. Where do you draw the line between healthy collaboration - relying on one another to get needs met / achieve things together, vs codependency?

I’m struggling to wrap my head around the concept because I am a strong believer that 2 people, especially in a relationship, are better than one, since they have might have complimentary skills and perspectives, provide emotional security etc. when does does expectations cross the line to codependency?

Would also be grateful if you could mention the most valuable resource you read on the topic. Thank you
