Vásquez, MS, LPC Tue, 19 May 2009 18:51:49 +0000 http://www.understandanyman.com/?p=267#comment-70 Ani, you have hit the nail on the head! Independence is a wonderful trait for single people. Interdependence is a relationship skill that Singles must transition into when they decide they want to be in a partnership with someone. We depend on others in many ways. In our jobs, we depend on others and they depend on us to get tasks done, so in the workforce, many of us already understand interdependence. Women don't have to be dependent and submissive, but too much "independence" thinking will keep them away from finding and keeping the love of their lives. Thanks for this insightful post, Ani.
