No Necesito Un Hombre Que Resuelva Mis Problemas, Necesito Un Hombre Que No Se Convierta En Uno

La gente parece pensar que una mujer necesita a un hombre para que le haga la vida más fácil. Parecen pensar que somos incapaces de hacer las cosas por nosotras mismas.

Social norms teach you that men are the protectors and providers of the families, and women are the caretakers. Well, I’m going to tell you that that is a load of BS!

Conozco a muchas mujeres que son más hombres que los hombres que tienen a su lado. Conozco a madres solteras que crían a sus hijos tan bien como lo harían dos padres.

And I, for one, am sick of these presumptions that a woman needs a man in her life. She doesn’t need him, but she can have him if she wants.

Todas las mujeres debéis creer que sois fuertes e independientes. Podéis cuidar de vosotras mismas.

Podéis haceros una buena vida. You’re more than capable. You don’t need someone else in your life to become what you want.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that you need to shut everyone out because you can do things by yourself. Don’t be a relationship-hater. You can be in a relationship and be independent at the same time.

Just never allow yourself to lose that independence and be subordinate to anyone you’re dating just for the sake of the relationship. There are plenty of other men out there; men that won’t make you give up your freedom.

Eso no es amor; eso es control.

El amor no consiste en tomar decisiones por otra persona. Amor no es llamar para comprobar si tu pareja te está engañando. El amor es no dudar de todo lo que dice el otro.

El amor es apoyo y confianza. El amor es inspiración y motivación.

I let someone fall in love with me, but I’ve set boundaries because I don’t want to lose myself.

I don’t necessarily need a man en mi vida, pero elijo tener uno. It’s who I am. I’m always going to choose love, but not at all costs.

I’ll love someone because I want to, not because I have to.

I’m perfectly capable of living on my own. I don’t need anyone to show me how to live or tell me what to do. I’m independent, and I want to stay that way.

I’ll never sacrifice myself and stay in a shitty relationship just because I don’t have any other choice. I refuse to be trapped with a man I don’t love just because I need him.

When I fall in love, the man standing beside me won’t have to carry me on his shoulders for the rest of his life.

We’re going to be partners and lovers. We’ll create an unbreakable union and a partnership. We will help each other.

Love shouldn’t be about only taking care of the other person. Sure, you’ll be there for each other when it’s needed.

Pero el amor no consiste en recoger la basura detrás de alguien. En una relación, nadie debe limitarse a dar o recibir.

Tienes que dar y recibir a la vez. Cuando te necesitan, tienes que estar ahí, y cuando tú les necesitas, ellos tienen que hacer lo mismo.

I don’t want to lower my partner’s expectations. I want him to know that I’m going to work as much as him.

I want him to know that I’m never going to let him support me just because he is used to me not lifting a finger or esforzándose.

If this relationship is destined to work, we have to give our best—both of us.

I don’t need to be saved. I’m not looking for a Prince Charming to wake me up from my deep sleep. I don’t need a knight on a white horse to come and rescue me.

I need an equal partner. I need a friend. I don’t need or want a man to solve my problems nor do I need a man who will become one.

I want a man who will support me—and I’m not speaking about apoyo financiero. Un hombre que me anime a seguir adelante cuando yo quiera rendirme.

I want a man who will care about my dreams as much as I do. I don’t want someone who’ll bring me down and tell me I can’t do something.

Quiero a alguien que esté orgulloso de mí y de todo lo que hago.

Quiero un compañero de vida. Alguien que va a construir un futuro feliz conmigo y no se interponga en mi camino.
