It's called codependency, and it's running rampant amongst my peers.

My highschool buddy has been "dating" (they're basically married at this point) his girl for over 15 years, and they can't stand each other. No kids, not married, no real obligations. Hate each other most days, and terrified of the idea of breaking up. It's fucking surreal at a bbq.
