They spend so much time learning to happily function on their own that they forget life requires relationships.
There is no way around this.

Love becomes a power struggle.
There is love, and then there is cohabitation and coexistence and compatibility.
They are all different, but equally necessary.

Independent women need partners who they respect and whom respect them in exchange.
Traditional relationship structures dont work for them, and modern role models can be hard to find.
This is only true if you let it be true.

The love of your life should inspire you to accomplish more, not less.
Being in love = losing your future.
Being in love = building your future alongside someone else.
They hold other people to their own unrealistically high expectations.
How could you stand to potentially disrupt everything youve worked so hard to build?
But the reality is that doing it all alone is whats more uncommon than not.
Its sharing your money/home/life with a family thats normal, not the opposite.
They lose sight of what healthy interdependence looks like.
Healthy relationships are a mix of trust, dependence and shared responsibility.
They think that being alone is safer.
Independent women are independent for a reason.
Though that fact is unequivocally true, the reality is that nothing is really safe in life.
Life shouldnt be built around whats safe, it should be built around whats worth the risk.
They expect to find their soulmate relationship rather than build their soulmate relationship.
Dont misunderstand me, that does help.
In fact, itsnecessary.But eliminating some baggage = building the relationship of your dreams.
They arent going to sacrifice their precious time for anyone who isnt 100% worth it.
Trust that they are not going to spend a moment on anyone who they dont think is worth it.
Independent women are inherently analytical beings.
Heres the white hot truth: the relationship youre looking for should be easy.
Not painless, but easy.
You should want to be together.
You should not have to fight every day to be understood.
So many people get partnered up because they dont think about it so much, they just do it.
