Cupid’s Advice: 

When you care about someone so much it can be easy to keep going back to them even when it isn’t working. Cupid is here to help you decide if it is becoming unhealthy:

1. Dependency: When you are in a relationship that you know isn’t working, but keep going back to them anyway, it can put you in a pattern of being dependent on this person being in your life. Establish your independence, and make a decision from there.
