Emotional dependency in marriage

Emotional dependency in marriage is conditioned by social attitudes and upbringing in most parts of the world.

It is a result of emotional immaturity and since the couple may mature differently and at different rates, conflict may arise later. One partner may become too assertive and if the other does not submit, he or she may seek satisfaction outside the marriage and contribute to its breakdown.
