What an independent woman wants her partner to finally understand!
Whether she was raised to be independent or was forced into it by circumstances, understanding these things comes naturally to her. She is independent, so she is used to being alone, making her own decisions, and not depending on anyone. When she starts a new relationship, her potential partner may not know how to get close to her. If she has been single for a long time or has not had a serious relationship, she may have a hard time letting her guard down and letting someone else take control. Here is what she wants her partner to know so he can understand her needs!
What an independent woman wants her partner to finally understand
I won’t always ask for help, even if I need it.
I’m used to doing a lot of things on my own; it’s become second nature to me, so I can’t ask for help. I find it hard to do. It’s not that I don’t want or need help; it’s just that it hasn’t occurred to me to bring it up.
If you see me struggling with something mentally, physically, or emotionally, just offer to help me. I will be grateful that you noticed my needs and cared enough to help. I can refuse, but even if I do, know that I appreciate your effort.
I need personal space.
If I’ve been seeing you every day for the last week or two and haven’t been home much, I might decline your next invitation to hang out. It’s not because I don’t enjoy spending time with you; I just need to recharge my batteries or meet up with friends or loved ones.
Don’t be offended if I want to be alone. If you feel like I’m distancing myself from you, bring it up in conversation. It will give us both a chance to air our concerns.
I don’t need a knight in shining armor…
You may have already realized that you don’t need to show off in front of me, but if you want to screw in a bookshelf or fix a coffee table in my apartment, I’ll be grateful to you.
I balance my finances and manage my monthly budget. I plan my shopping and do my grocery shopping. I don’t need a knight in shining armor to come to my rescue. However, I truly want to be with you and enjoy your company.
You may want to feel needed, but for me, feeling wanted is something special. I’m not looking for someone to complete me. I’m with you because I want to share my life with you.
It may take me some time to open up.
I don’t always trust people. If I’m going to commit to someone, I want to know that I can truly trust them. I may be reserved at first, but please don’t pressure me. I’ll let you in when I’m ready.
We are not competing.
If I get a promotion, you’ll be one of the first to know. I hope you’ll be as excited as I am and rejoice with me.
If you get a promotion, think about starting your own business or look for another job; I will support you 100 percent. And I want you to do the same for me. We both work hard to get what we want, but we don’t have to do it alone.
