There's been a lot of good posts already on this thread.

"Too independant"????

What rubbish.

That's the sort of comment a man might make from a non-European culture.

Too independant?

What sort of a man wants a dependant woman?
The sort of man that wants a millstone round his neck?

Or the sort of man who's a controlling or jealous type?

Or maybe the reason you split was for some other reason that he didn't want to tell you because he thought it would hurt you too much, or show him in a bad light? So the best excuse he could come with was "You're too independant."


Did Peter Andre split with Katie Price because she was too independant and went off horse riding and to a night-club without him? Or did he leave her because she had too much of a bad temper and criticised him too much? In other words because she wasn't sweet enough to him? Or was it because he couldn't control her and stop her working as a model?

Who knows?

It just seems to be human nature to fall in love with someone. To only see the good in them at the start. To be on one's best behaviour when first courting. And then as time goes by to notice more bad and fewer good points about them. And to descend into less and less good behaviour until the relationship ends or continues in some sort of state of perpetual dissatisfaction.

Thanks everybody for the comments (but more is wellcome :))
I think, he just did not like me.... as simple as that. Because, it is true, that if smb likes you he will try make things work by communicating and trying to sort things out, before jumping to the conclusions.

so, I just have to live with this :)

darja: Guys, please, I need your advice :)
A person I really liked broke up with me saying that I am too independent....what does it mean from the man perspective? what should I do to improve it?
thanks for the honest words......

1. He don't wont you,
2. Find yourself another one.
Simple, isn't it?
That's life.

I see this independentness more as sharing and not dependency (as some have commentited it - nice to see how many interpretations of "independent" people showed here).

gingerb: In the wider sense of this word, it means being needed, or to be more precise, letting them believe that you need them, (as opposed to just want them in your life).


I agree only half with what you said. As in feeling like being "needed". As in "i know you don't need me to smear your bread but I do it because I like doing it for you and I feel happy seeing you smile and saying "thank you".

If you want, not really "needed", more of "appreciated".
