Hello. This hit home a little bit. The truth is that I’m guilty of uttering those “I don’t need a man… etc” words. I also agree that men like to feel needed. I divorced about 8 years ago…my choice. However, once he said to me that it would have been nice to have felt needed. I now know that it was a passive aggressive behavior on my part not to allow him to help me on anything… because we were just wrong together… but that still doesn’t take the lesson away.
I am now careful on what and how I say it. Also, I’m working on allowing my vulnerability to show and asking for help if I need it. I want to shed my Wonder Woman outfit.
