being dependent

I feel like you in regards to this issue. Personally, I hate that kind of viewpoint. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be in a stable relationship, or depending on one another emotionally, but my opinion is that no one, man or woman, should be completely dependent on the other, financially. I would always want to make my own money and be able to support myself, because you never know what can happen in a relationship. What if he loses his job? What if you get a divorce? I want to be as self-sufficient as possible, while being a good, loving partner. Depending on someone completely is really irresponsible, and I don't think that feeling the need to belong to a man, is good way to life one's life. People should take pride in themselves and their own self worth, before putting all their trust in a man or woman.

I have been taking care of myself since my divorce over thirty years ago...and I have started my own little business too....even if she does find someone that isn't a guarantee that it will be that way forever.....sometimes those situations fall through too...
