Independence

I spent most of today with an ex-classmate from level 1 Dutch. It was quite fun showing her around Kortrijk and doing things together, just 2 of us.
Ever noticed that most couples do not have a separate network of friends? Some even regard any separate agendas as big no-no to relationships. What a silly outlook. In my opinion, having your own friends, personal plans and individual goals is key to healthy partnerships.
I strongly believe in inter-dependent relationships. And that can only be possible if the individuals involved are independent. Sticky and unyielding dependency is bad news and frankly scares the hell out of me. And I’ve seen enough in life to know that it is slow death to any happy long term relationship.
