Yes and they even let us handle large machinery during WWII :)
It is very true. You have to have your own sense of self before you can have a solid relationship with anyone but of course that person has to have their shit together too. That's the hard part. I've always had my shit together (old soul) but finding someone of the like, not so easy. Took me 37 years to find that. The bf has it together and we're just a great compliment to each other (gawd that was sappy, haha). But that's why we've been together 5 years and going strong. Otherwise you gotta kick that shit to the curb. A partner should make your life easier not more complicated. Been there, done that, punted it like a football to get rid of it.
