Public ethics and health, and civility, are based on notions of what is "good". ( Good is called "mature", when we tolerate badness in juveniles, etc.)
For some, a mature individual has no dependence on other members of society. And a mature society makes no demands of such dependence upon its adults.
For some, a mature individual MUST have dependence on other members of society. And a mature society MUST demand dependence between adults.
These are conflicting definitions of good.

It is immature of people to place, or to seek to place, emotional dependency upon their partners.
Because it has become a common method of subjugating the population, many people feel it is normal, ideal, and healthy.
But I find it to be sickly behaviour.
And it is likely I will spend half my mating life explaining my point of view, without a desire to argue too finely about it.
