My husband has made remarks about me being too independent, but if I don't look out for myself who will? Also, before I was married I was single and I have always worked, had my own apartment and paid my own way for everything. Even when I was so called "dating", I never left home without my own money. I had several friends that wanted to be wined and dined. They expected a man to take care of them. Not me. I learned a long time ago that you can't rely on people. But the weird thing with my husband is if I ask him to do something (household projects; carrying heavy objects; etc.), I will get attitude. If he initiates it on his own or offers and I decline, then he says I am too independent. What does he want? A needy woman who can't stand on her own two feet? That's the same exact thing I experienced with guys that I dated when I was single. They'd much rather do something for a woman who doesn't have a job, has kids, etc.
There are a lot of trust issues for me as well.
