You can lose your support system

Sadly, being in co-dependent relationships can ultimately isolate you from the support system that actually loves you, in a healthy way. “If you are always in co-dependent relationships, you might pull away from your loved ones every time you get into a relationship and devote all your attention to your partner,” says Hoffman. “You’ll get a pass a few times from them before you find that they’re less willing to take you back and support you through a breakup the next time a relationship backfires.”
