Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jake and Sally's relationship seems to be based on infatuation or intense passion, as they have only dated for several months, and Sally is still in the process of adapting to Jake's lifestyle. Sally's jealousy over Jake's friends from work also suggests that the relationship is still in the early stages, and neither party has yet established trust and commitment required for mature or committed love. Codependency, which typically involves one partner relying excessively on the other for emotional or physical support, does not seem to be evident in this scenario.
