Bored of being independent

For a good while now the notion of being an independent woman has been hailed as a great thing, having a good job, nice house and the prospect of as many dates as possible. What happens though when you are bored of being independent and want to regress a little to being something in between a kept woman (or man) and oh so alone.

Don’t get me wrong, having your own job, house, car etc is a great thing to be able to boast, however having these things shouldn’t mean that you are forfeiting a stable relationship while you are there. Society does seem to favour either one or the other, you can either be a good housewife or an independent person / business woman. I like to think that everybody is independent, we all lead our own lives and unless we are in a very restricting situation have our own opinions and rights. Being a housewife, stay at home mum or simply married doesn’t make you any less independent. Does it?

Assuming though that one is of the working kind, minus partner, with own house and or car, there can come the point when you get bored of being independent. You can have as many dates as you want but sometimes not having that special person at home can be one of the loneliest feelings. Just as you can fill you days with as many activities as you want but when they are finished, it’s still just you.

I understand that relationships aren’t for everybody and others (like myself) can struggle to find that right person. Given the choice however, understand you can be partnerpendent!
