Dom, I can see where someone in your shoes would have a different perspective. My H is talking more about me having my own friends rather than relying on him for all my fun as well as now having an opinion on things and contibuting that to our relationship. We actually discussed maintaining independence, but still moving in the same direction as a couple and working as a team to get where we wanted to go. It's a fine line for sure, and I definitely lost myself in the 15 years we've been married. He was happy to see me back to the girl he married rather than this whimpering dependent, shrinking flower I had become.
