When you’re looking for a relationship, there’s one very important thing you need to ask yourself: Do you want a partner, or a hostage?
A lot of people say they want to feel “needed” in a relationship, but if your partner needs you for housing, money, and basic survival, do you think they’re going to hold their boundaries? Or will they set up every interaction to avoid upsetting you and getting kicked out of their house?
That’s a huge power imbalance, and one that women are less likely to look for as they finally have the freedom and opportunity to build their own lives.
In the latest episode of @DoAsWeSayPod, @DrLizPowell and @DrNerdLove share why wanting a partner is so much healthier than needing one, and why financial independence can actually make relationships stronger. 👀
