Carie
I'm a single independent woman who's 31. My plans for the
future when I was younger involved going to college, getting married, raising
children in a four bedroom house in the suburbs and going to work when my
children were older. Then I grew up. Now, I'm a single mother
working full time in the professional field. The thought of staying home
all day long being dependent on a man makes my stomach turn.
A few friends and acquaintances are the type of women that have to have a
man in their lives. And rearrange their entire lives to suit their
man. They don't get that it's not healthy to have your life revolve around
one person. It's disgusting how some of them can't even go two to three
hours without calling them...while they're at work! Or the friends that
are with complete losers who mentally and physically abuse them, but "they've
seen what kind of person they can be when they're sober" Please, gag
me.
My philosophy on relationships is that it should be a partnership where
both people can communicate openly and respectfully. I have nothing
against housewives who want to be there for their children. I have nothing
against working mothers who work because they enjoy it. Every relationship
is different, just as every person is. However, I don't agree with women
being housewives because of the repressive belief that women should be in the
kitchen and should only have to worry about the household.
The old saying "love conquers all" is not true. Love may help you
accept a person's faults but you have to be able to work together to solve
problems in a relationship. It's not going to fix itself.
Funny story, a new client called to set up an appointment for tax planning
with his fiancée. (I'm an accountant) They actually want me to do a
budget for them because "they fight about it when they try to do it themselves
and it doesn't get done." The alarm bells in my head instantly started
going off. Wonder how long they'll last!
