I do think "Healthy" can be achieved if both work at it. Sorry but I don't think simply caring for someone does the trick in many cases but if one partner/friend has a problem or issues that need dealing with and BOTH are willing to work on them and in some cases if the problems are serious enough, to seek professional help, then yes, of course it can work!

Now in friendships I don't think we are talking running off to counseling with the 'unhealthy' party necessarily, but supporting them if they need it is good and useful.

In a romance of course, it is more likely both will be involved in such things if the issues/problems are serious. If not, they can and most do, work things out together. I think we all come to relationships with our own agendas and backlog of experiences that effect us. Guess, like OTP, I'd want more detail on what you meant by 'unhealthy'. [img]smile.gif[/img]
