But I don't feel the need to talk about it all the damn time. I do a lot of the things I do on my own because I don't have a partner at the moment to help me. But you best believe there are times I wish I had someone to share the load with. I don't feel any less independent because of that.Newness of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05908430180636502939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695408284999634886.post-39005695542814104752011-07-18T17:39:51.345-07:002011-07-18T17:39:51.345-07:00Alicia I could not have put this better!

As you know I have been with my husband for 8 years and I love the relationship we have and being with him does not make me dependent. I have often told women that I am a whole person in a relationship not half of a couple. That's what makes me an independent woman. <br /><br />Too often women get wrapped up in the being a half that they forget they are a whole person with interests and goals and it is perfectly healthy to express and and work towards those interests and goals while in a relationship.<br /><br />I feel sorry for the women you are referring to in this blog, they are obviously misguided and need to re-evaluate their life...immeidately!!!Tiffanynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695408284999634886.post-36146757005819616772011-07-18T17:03:55.290-07:002011-07-18T17:03:55.290-07:00I don't think having a signicant other or need...I don't think having a signicant other or needing(not needing) one has anything to do with ones independence. My personal independence simply means I don't have to depend on anyone for anything personally in my life. I depend on my job to pay me bi-weekly but that's about it. Everything else I make happen for me. That's independence or at least the way I define it.<br /><br />If you as a woman feel like you NEED another person (who isn't related to you) in your life then you need to reevaluate your situation because its obvious you have life fucked up.Krissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718213064016248432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695408284999634886.post-75095299420943152011-07-18T12:02:28.427-07:002011-07-18T12:02:28.427-07:00Very well stated Demetria! and Nyse, 2 years ago t...Very well stated Demetria! and Nyse, 2 years ago that third statement would have NEVER came out of your mouth..my how (impending) motherhood has matured us ;-)A.

I am single, and about to have a baby. And while I am 100% sure that I am capable of raising my son, it makes me feel good to know that his father is going to be there for him 100%. As well as my family! And I don't think that it makes me any less independent. Because I definitely make my own decisions, and am capable of doing what I need to do for myself, and now, my son!

I'm happy that there's women that can function without a man... it really rubs me the wrong way when I see women that can't be without a man, but the truth be told I like the company of a Good man... I can still have a good time without one and I can pay my own bills without one as well. Independence to me means that you can simply make your own decisions and except the repercussions that come with it.Demetria Washingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16898156947252770849noreply@blogger.com
