“It's enough for a small betrayal, a distancing, an affirmation of independence to provoke wrath, fear and also hatred from the adult. How many husbands and boyfriends kill the woman they say they love because she has decided to leave. It's in the news every day.” EnoughLove IsHusbandNewsAdultsDecidedHatredIndependenceBetrayalProvokingAffirmationWrath Author:Dacia Maraini
“One of the things that I loved about when I met my husband was that he picked me up and he paid - I know that sounds old-fashioned but for me, most of my life, I always would split the bill or would always pay, or I would be very assertive about my independence and my financial responsibility. And I am a very strong woman and very strong-willed - but there was something really great about him taking care of me and treating me and opening the door and driving, and I am perfectly OK with that. And he still does it to this day.” KnowsDoeStillsWould BeCareStrongSoundPayResponsibilityDoorsMetsHusbandPaidIndependenceBillsFinancialDrivingOpeningMy HusbandThis DayVery StrongSplitsStrong WomenReally GreatOld FashionedAssertiveStrong WilledTake Care Of Me Author:Sutton Foster
“In the past there were two things that motivated me then: independence, and passion about what I was doing. And those are still the things that motivate me now. I still have that passion for creating a product. And I will never be dependent on a man. I will never be dependent on a husband or a boyfriend or a father. That's one thing that's really important to me.” MenImportantPastPassionFatherHusbandIndependenceMotivated Author:Tamara Mellon
