Also, I think it`s good to have separate interests and enjoy some time on your own whether that be doing other hobbies or just having a night out/in with friends. Personally it`s the word "control" i have a problem with. I wouldn`t like to be told what i should or shouldn`t do, or where I can or can`t go etc.

In a happy and balanced relationship then you should be encouraging each other to maintain that little bit of "independence". Doing things as a couple/family is great but i think it`s important to also have some "me" time.

Not sure if that all made sense or not lol

Yes, ditto, that did make sense and something that most women would prefer. I like my own independance and wouldn't like to feel suffocated in being told what I should or shouldn't do etc... and encouraging each other in this is important... rather than being negative as that is sooo annoying...

On the other hand (career), I'm all for NOT being a dyed-in-the-wool "company man/burd" dedication or whatever is one thing, but that's taking things too far.

A woman that can't cook that is a non starter then!!

Therein lies your problem!!

You need to get that sorted else you will never trap a fella for any more than a few rolls in the hey!!

Shelleywoozle, great to see you back . Re Independant Women, it worked for Beyonce (or whoever it was who did that Independant Woman tune!)

acctually i have changed my stance!! WTF are these women doing either out of the kitchen, or bedroom. Has there been an unusually long batch of chains made??

now all of you "indipendent" women get yourselves back n the house where you belong, stop getting ideas above your station regarding thinking for yourself and having your own iterests.

If you bloke likes golf, you must also. Simple. Know your limits!!!!!!

Independant women are great!!!
Been married to one for 25 years (as of 19 June this year).
We've always "done our own thing".
And only had one bank account but it's never been a problem.
She doesn't need my permission to buy a new outfit anymore than I need permission to buy a new lid (helmet).
Of course major purchases bikes, cars, are mutually discussed but that's a not a problem either.... because we're not just 2 independant people...we are a couple too!!!

Oh and..She can cook!!!! LOL

But she couldn't 25 years ago... so there's still hope for you Shelly!



Like others mentioned...the key is being able to let someone into your life while maintaining your own independance....and that is true anyone not just women.
Of course the hard thing is finding a like minded person in this world of people who play mind games, control freaks, drama freaks, overly jealous, bums, deadbeats, the list of crazy's goes on.....and on....and on.

But hang in there... the right one will come along.
