Co-dependent 

Often describing someone who finds all their value as a human being in having a romantic relationship. If they are single, they feel like a total failure and therefore will put up with all kinds of possessive, unhealthy Mr/Ms. Wrongs to bolster their own self worth.

Often seen in high school sweethearts who date all the way through college and into mid-20s. Even though annoyed and bored with each other, they still refuse to break up because they can't stand being single.

Debbie said she always knew Jason wasn't 'the one', but still dated him for 7 years. She's as co-dependent as a barnacle.

co-host-dependency 

Similar to helpy-helpington-ism. Tendency to offer unsolicited help to attendees of a Zoom session, even when logged in purely as a participant.

Unable to repress his co-host-dependency, he directed participants and answered questions as they entered the videochat, forcing the actual hosts and co-hosts to clarify and redirect. Zoomified, he muted his mic and turned off his camera.

codependency 

verb – the act of tying a suicidal man, who is hanging from a bridge, to another seriously disturbed man that is already hanging from the other side of said bridge.

Lars was sad and tried to kill himself yesterday by hanging on to a rope from the Golden Gate bridge for a prolonged time. Since Bill O'Riley happened to be there, rappelling down the other side of the bridge towards a cruise ship full of liberal gay marriage supporters, I took the opportunity and codepencied (past tense of codependency) them three feet above the water. ... for science.
