A commercial for Campbell Soup appeared on my TV screen last night and I was not happy with the message.
You can view it here...http://ispot.tv/a/AYX0.
A man tells his girlfriend his mom used to make him soup when he was sick. She says, "Oh that's great," she gets the phone and says, "Call your mom."
This is a classic- CO-DEPENDENT AND DEPENDENT RELATIONSHIP!
GRANTED IN THE PAST, WOMEN WERE EXPECTED TO MAKE THE SOUP AND THAT IS BEING THE SERVANT. HOWEVER, THE MAN TOOK CARE OF HIS WIFE AKA-THE CO-DEPENDENT to the DEPENDENT!!
As women we still want men to take care of us BUT not the other way around. In AN INTERDEPENDENT RELATIONSHIP BOTH ARE TAKING CARE OF EACH OTHER AND ARE TRUE LOVERS AS OPPOSED TO THE CODEPENDENT AND DEPENDENT!!!!
WHEN we TRULY CARE, we WANT TO TAKE CARE of each other AS OPPOSED TO WHAT CAN THE OTHER PERSON DO FOR ME!
DO YOU WANT AN EQUAL INTERDEPENDENT RELATIONSHIP?
OR THE OLD- FASHIONED, CO-DEPENDENT/DEPENDENT?
