Now, what is independence? For most people, independence says, "I don't need you." How is that conveyed in a relationship? 'tis a thin line you walk...and, if not walked sensitively, one could fall by the way. For example, if a woman is constantly throwing her independence up in her man's face, her man may get the impression that he's not needed, or wanted. anyone in a relationship feeling that way, man or woman, will eventually walk away from it. We all have belonging needs, where we need to feel needed, and wanted; we don't join relationships for our independence. If we cannot get that feeling of belonging from our mate, we will get it from somewhere. Relationship aren't about independence; anyone in a relationship, who feels that they're too independent for that relationship, should not be in that relationship.
those are my thoughts.
Ok, thank you for the explanation I was looking for. That makes sense. I wouldn't want to feel unneeded either. So, in essence, the "too independent" is not necessarily about the professionalism at all. It can overlap, but it is a separate issue. Am I correct?
Thanks for posting.
