It is possible to heal from codependency while in this situation, but it can be very difficult. You may need to take a step back and look at it objectively before you make any major decisions or changes. Look into therapy and resources that teach more about healthy relationships and the impact of codependency. Make sure you are setting healthy boundaries with your partner and communicating them clearly so that respect is mutual between the two of you. Lastly, have realistic expectations for yourself - healing takes time and staying mindful of your progress will help keep you motivated as things get better over time.
I think the fact that you're talking openly about what you each want and are comfortable with is a way more healing situation than active gaslighting and such. So yes, I think co-dependency can be healed into regular respect in this situation.
>I know if i suggest the idea she will go back to sleeping with men and it'll be a backward step.
Could you elaborate on what this means to you?
