While most people seek to be independent in relationships, I seek independent dependence. ย As in, I want to preserve my wholeness, honour my partnerโs need to do the same, and also be able to depend on her. What is the point of partnership if we canโt turn towards the one we love and say, โToday I canโt hold up my world alone, will you help me?โ ย Itโs healthy to depend on people for support, itโs not healthy to depend on them for our wholeness and happiness. Those are two very different things. ย
