In a nutshell, women (but really people in general) want to be the master of your happiness. they wan you to depend on them to be happy. That's the ultimate power because if you control someone's happiness, you essentially control them. and it makes your ego feel good as well. We need to realize that no one else besides ourselves is responsible for our happiness. not your girl, not your boss, not your friends, not your parents, no one but you. don't ever surrender that power to an outside source. Even for people of faith it kinda makes sense because God can make you happy since God is within you...
the tricky part with women is that they want that power but they don't want it at the same time. they like the feeling it gives to their ego but at the same time, they don't want to be responsible for your happiness. matter of fact, on some level, they want you to be responsible for their happiness so that they can be taken care of and led but at the same time, they can't avoid resenting you for having a certain amount of control over that essential part of their life (control they surrendered themselves). So in turn they try to get that control over you (even if they don't even want it). it's natural. for them though, it really seems like a fine line they have to constantly walk. if you want a chick to remain your woman, the trick is to be aware of that balance that must be maintained and never surrender too much of your power (because her ego wants it but overall she doesn't).
lol, i keep quoting patrice but fukk it, dude spoke the truth. A woman loves you but she HATES how much she loves you. marinate on that...
