Yeah I associate it with uncontrolled BPD and it fucking terrifies me at this point because of the experiences that caused that association. Being put on a pedestal sucks, your successes become expected and your failures become catastrophic. But also you can feel trapped for fear of hurting someone who you do like who's in a bad place. And from there enforcing boundaries can start to feel like hurting them.

With my wife we still make points to express that we'd be ok and manage if the other left. Our finances are built with that in mind even. Knowing I can leave makes me always aware of how I don't want to, and it makes us safe and secure in the fact that we know the other doesn't want to.
