LOOne of the scariest things I remember going through was making the decision to leave my job when I was getting married. Literally terrified. I had spent my life up until that point preparing myself to care for myself and pursue my career aspirations. Education, work experience, resume on 1000- and then I fell in love, got married and decided to leave all of that behind. I remember for the first few months of my marriage I remember mourning, mourning the loss of a life I had worked my whole life to get to, and then, making the decision to leave it all behind.
This debate is interesting to me because after my experience, I know that once I settled into my marriage- I used my skills, experience and education to be a helpmate to my spouse which was nice BUT there was still a part of me that was left unfulfilled bc I wanted to still pursue my career aspirations therapy and social work. After that experience and some reflection, I’ve learned that I’m a woman who desires a relationship where we are interdependent, I’ve seen the beauty in a marriage of having someone to depend on & vice versa.
I don’t want to be the independent woman that I was bred to become, I do desire to have someone to be dependent on in some respect.
And it does bring about the question, can someone who is independent work in a relationship with someone else who is independent? Is an independent woman a good choice to be in relationship with?
@19_keys brings up a good point, so what do y’all think?
Let’s discuss!
