Spending quality time together and expressing your affection verbally are some of the best ways to make sure your partner is emotionally dependent on you. Set aside date nights regularly and try to stay connected even when you're apart by sending texts or calling each other throughout the day. Showing that you care and appreciate them goes a long way in demonstrating emotional dependence.

The best way to make sure your partner is emotionally dependent on you is to maintain consistently good communication and express a constant level of commitment. Show them that you're in it for the long haul, and let them know how much they mean to you by doing simple gestures like writing letters or texts that express your appreciation, as well as offering affirmations when necessary. Make sure too that they're involved in decisions revolving around finances, future plans, and friend groups—have discussions surrounding these ideas regularly. Additionally, be sure not to take advantage of the relationship since this may lead them to resenting feeling overly reliant on you down the line! In sum, with time and patience any effort put into making your partner feel connected and appreciated will hopefully create an increased emotional dependence between both partners.
