I have a partner, but I'm still an independent woman

Status: "In relationship"

Believe it or not, my life didn't change when my status changed from being single to being in a relationship.

I'm still the same, doing everything I did before we met. The partnership does not limit me and neither does the partner.

A relationship does not mean that we have to spend every moment together and do everything together. It's not that, it's a toxic attachment.

remember to stay as you are and appreciate your partner for who he is. And that makes you who you are.

1. I'm still me

I am no more confident or successful than I was when I was single. My relationship has not changed who I am as a person. If it did, then it wouldn't be a healthy relationship.

2. Before he appeared, I was alone

Sure, now I can call him and ask him to help me, but before he showed up, I had to do all these things myself. I wasn't born into a relationship. It took me a few years to find a stable relationship, and I learned a lot of practical life lessons along the way.

3. He's not always around to "take care of me"

Believe it or not, I can go an hour without it - or even a whole day! Can you imagine? Ha, ha. When he's not around, I can only rely on myself. That's why I can earn money myself, change the light bulb myself, take the car to the service... while he does other things.

4. It pushes me to be the best person I can be

My man is not the type of person to be jealous. He wants her to be happy. She wants to be able to take care of herself. He seems comfortable with the fact that we are two separate people with two separate lives that happen to overlap. Everyone knows how to take care of themselves and each other.

5. I will not change because of him

He fell in love with me because I was an independent woman. I won't change the things he likes most about me. And there's no way I'm going to change the things I love about myself, even though he might not like them.

6. My independence actually improves our relationship

It doesn't separate us. We are stronger because of her. As much as I love him, we would drive each other crazy if we were in the same room for days without taking time to rest. I love the time I spend alone because it gives us a chance to miss each other. It's definitely not healthy to be glued to each other.

7. We are equal

He should not be the one who has to pay all the financial obligations. They are mine too. Relationships are about give and take, so I will do my fair share. It wouldn't be right to let him arrange and pay for everything himself.
