Am I too independent? Does guys hate a girl like this?

Question

I had to reask becus I need more responses. So my x (now friend of 3mths are very close). I asked him to come with me 2 take my car to a get fixed. the car is driving really crazy. Its like you have to do certain things to keep it drivin or it'll cut off. So Im drivin it 1st and it cuts off some but not alot. I got tired so i asked him to drive. Thinkin maybe he'll figure how to make it stop stoppin. When he does it starts cuttin off even more. I realized it wasnt doin it as much when I drove it. He said he was fustrated with it so I offered to drive again. He just keeps sayin he can handle it, but it keeps cuttin off. I knew what he was doin wrong and I tried to help. He gets really irritated just becus I told him "maybe I should try again." So he's like "Here you can drive, come on," but he says it in an irritated way. He never gives the wheel back. It keeps turnin off. Everytime I talked 2 the repairman he just kept takin the phone from me. Is he power crazy or am I too independent?

He broke up with me and is now back with his gf of 4 yrs. I have a bf. This is the 1st time he has ever irritated me so much! But we are reall y close & have been friends for several months. Like bat pals. with flirts here & there.

Hi ShayShay ;-)

I dont think this is yoou being too independent at all hun! Alledgedly guys really go for the independent woman thing, a bloke once told me it was very attractive!!

The truth of the matter here though is that guys hate to think that something has beaten them especially if the result is that a girlie can do it better! Its quite a musing really, my bf does it too, in fact most bf's I've had have been this way, its almost like there on a power trip, the man being the so called "stronger species". He wont be harrassed with you at all he'll be harrassed with himself. Just laugh it off knowing that you won this one hands down sweetheart!

If there's any guys checking this out, be honest with us, it drives you mad doesn't it if you feel you have failed????? Dont get hung up on it, us ladies feel the same we just show it differently lol

Answer 2

That guy was way too insecure about letting you take control of something. A real man would accept defeat. Either way, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being an independent woman. It's hell of a lot better than being a girlfriend, I'll tell you that much.

Answer 3

That's not being independent... that's having a messed up car and arguing over it..
