Can you stay independent and strong yet still open yourself to love?

[Blueoceanna]

My last five years were very difficult, but I overcame them on my own and with my mother help. I bought things for the house, I could buy whatever I wanted, I didn't need a man (father or husband). Being independent and free without needing a man is a very comfortable feeling. Of course I was very tired, but there's a relief in overcoming it on my own. I don't let a man wear me down, and I never will. If he hurts me, if he sad and broke me, I will make him regret it, and I have done it before 👍 I don't even want to be friends with Turkish men anymore. Their attitudes towards women lack courtesy. I'm happy on my own, but I need a man for love. I want to fall in love because it's a pure and very soft feeling

Because of higher education and better job opportunity, many girls prioritise their carrier, earning and independence over marriage and other family rising activities. Earnings and financial strongness reflect in their behaviour and do not compromise for love and family rising. This is a cultural shift, coming with education and better jobs for women. But their sexual desires are natural, and they expect being loved and to love somebody – without compromising their independency. Because of this many women remain strong and independent, but open to love. Naturally, being secure in one's independence allows for a healthier, more balanced partnership rather than based on cultural and social traditions, necessity or co-dependence. As I understood, being a strong (because of educational achievements, earnings, knowledge etc.) drive them to independency (in thoughts and behaviour), and for love – stood their second priority – they prefer to wait for competent partner, not needing just one. Family life, love and sexual desires become a war to balance Independence and Love, and want vs. need. They do not need husband to rule over them or just to pay for their living. They choose a man who can add value to their already fulfilled life, maintain their personal identity. A healthy relationship thrives on mutual support, if both the partners are independent in their activities, but supporting each other to achieve their dreams, being strong does not mean being rigid. Allowing themself to be vulnerable and receive support from a partner makes their relationship everlasting and strengthen the emotional connection. Being independent and strong, but still open to love is real need of the time, and women can do it because of their basic integral character and emotional attachment for family life.

You are too right

[Nikki1989]

Yes — and not only is it possible, it's actually the only foundation on which love that doesn't diminish you can be built.

First of all, I have a massive amount of respect for your journey. Building that kind of independence takes a lot of resilience. To answer your question: Yes, absolutely. True love isn't about losing your independence; it's about finding someone who celebrates it. A real partner doesn't want to control you; he wants to be a safe place where you can finally put your armor down. As for your experience with Turkish men, I completely understand why you feel that way. Many lack the courtesy and emotional maturity a strong woman requires. I just hope one day, someone can show you that the pure, soft love you are looking for is real, and that you deserve it without having to fight for it. Güçlü olabilmen, kalabilmen harika

Really thank you , beni anladığın için teşekkür ederim. Aranızda iyi olanlara lafım yok benim karşıma iyisi çıkmadı sanırım. Türk erkeklerinin beklentilerini karşılamıyorum belki de. Kadınların kendilerinden daha iyi kazanca sahip olmalarını istemiyorlar ya hiç kazanmayıp onların verdiği 3 kuruş ile idare edilmesini istiyorlar yada çok kazanmasından yararlanmaya çalışıyorlar. Öncelikle hiçbir kadın 3 az bir parayla kalmamalı. Özgür olmalı ve para özgürlük demektir. Yada bir erkeğin kendisinden daha çok geliri olan eşinden geçinmesi de yanlış. Ciddi miktar gerektiren konularda eşime seve seve destek olurum (ev faturalar gibi) ama 1 paket sigarasını bile ben aldığım bir eş tabiki de istemem. Böyleleri de var işin içine girilse çıkılmaz. Ve seven bir erkeğin geliri ne olursa olsun neler yapacağını etrafımdakilerden gördüğüm için biliyorum. Seven erkek 2 saat uzaklıkta da olsa 6 saat uzaklıkta da olsa ayağına kadar geliyor. Değer veren erkek kadını vücuduyla değerlendirmez. Türk erkeği eşini destekliyor ama bir yandan da çok zorluyor ben biraz daha esneğim bu konularda. Evlendikten sonra eşim neden bir kadınla sohbet etmesin ki? Ona neden ciddi bir şey olduğunda yardım etmesin ki? Ağzının suyu akmıyorsa veya yatağa girmiyorsa bir kadınla düzgün şekilde konuşmasında bir problem yok. Tabi ki baş başa kahve içmesini de istemem gereğinden fazla diyaloğa ve yakınlığa giriyor. Fazla kıskançlık iyi değil hata yapıyoruz

[Blueoceanna]

And ım Like that too. Bende böyleyim mesela ben bi erkekle düzgün seviyede konuşabilirim bu ona aşık olduğum anlamına gelmez aldatmak değil bu baş başa buluşmadan sohbet edebilirim. Evlilik bir beklenti değildir gerçekten sevdiğimiz insanlara karşı anlayışlı oluruz benim düşüncem bu şekilde

always have...

[Blueoceanna]

Perfect 🤝

My aim on GAG is to help you protect your heart without building a prison around it, gorgeous 💫

You’re not “too strong” for love. You just learned self-respect the hard way. Keep your independence, money, freedom, and boundaries. The right man won’t drain that, he’ll add peace, affection, and softness to it.

No more Turkish-red-flag types, no lovebombing, no ego wars. You stay the queen of your own life, and love becomes a bonus, not a necessity. That’s the sweet spot. 💕

[Blueoceanna]

No, I will fall in love, but it won't be with a Turkish man

[ohsheeT]

I look at it like this in life when we were born we get to choose who we want to be by the things that we say and do


We have parents that guide us and the teachers things in life but they can only teach us the things that they know when we become a certain age we have to think on our own and analyze what we have learned because their way might not be right you have to figure it out yourself I always tell people you're on your own in this world not unless you can find a good friend but you are truly on your own so it's up to you to find the wisdom and strength to become the person you want to become and experience everything everything because everything will teach you that there are level after level after level of learning. And experiencing life to me I want to know everything I want to experience everything I want to understand everything I don't care what it is really if it's a positive I want to know it I want to feel it I want to become it I want to understand it and I want to experience it

I believe we are supposed to become the best that we can possibly become and the only way we can do that is to experience every moment whether it's positive or negative it's what you get from it that makes you a better person

Let me ask you what's something you would love to experience no matter what it is or the reason why

[QuineJessica]

Love is something higher than money and financial independence. I never planned to get married to get rich, it's really stupid to be honest and dangerous. For me, a relationship is a partnership. And so I would keep my heart open (I'm in a relationship 😅)

[Blueoceanna]

I wish you are always happy ♥️

[QuineJessica]

Thank you so much! I really hope so 💞🫂
