Sometimes we tend to be afraid of people who are too independent in relationships. We fear that they won't be as devoted as we are and that they'll eventually leave us. However, we are wrong. Relationships with independent people are healthy, fun, and we can only benefit from them. Here are six reasons why:
Sometimes we tend to be afraid of people who are too independent in relationships. We fear that they won't be as devoted as we are and that they'll eventually leave us.
However, we are wrong. Relationships with independent people are healthy, fun, and we can only benefit from them. Here are six reasons why:
1) An independent partner will always be 100% upfront with who they are
You never have to guess if they're putting on a front just to reel you in because they don't really care what you think.
They'll be authentic, hold their dignity in high regard, and don't feel the need to act fragile just to avoid scaring you off.
2) They'll challenge you to become better
If there's anything you out of life, whether it's a project or a goal you're working towards, an independent partner will push and support you in your pursuit of obtaining it.
Independent people want their partner to succeed, too, because they know it makes them a better team when they're both winning.
3) They know how to have fun
An independent person maximizes their downtime as much as their crunch time. When they're not working their ass off to become better, they're enjoying life in the best ways they can.
They're not the homebody type and would instead go out and be social, jet off on a trip, or hike a mountain to make fun and lasting memories instead of getting into a sweatpants-and-couch rut in their relationships.
4) They will want you, not need you
Independent people don't need someone by their side, no matter what. If they are with you, it's because they want to be with you.
There's nothing more sincere and unusual than a partner who truly wants you around even when they can rock the game of life on their own.
5) They never give up on the essential things
Independent people won't throw in the towel on their relationships at the first sign of struggle because struggle is their middle name.
They can face all challenges head-on, and they won't hesitate to find ways to improve the life you share.
6) Independent people are also extremely loyal to the one they love
When an independent person is in love, they'll have your back in every way, shape, and form.
They'll challenge you to be the best version of yourself while taking care of anything you need in support along the way.
Independent people view their relationships as priceless partnerships, and just like their go-getting attitude about life overall, they'll strive to make your duo the best possible team you can be together.
