Me and my girl was having an argument because she said years ago when we first got together I did something stupid and she called me on the phone to break up with me. I just happened to be busy so I couldn't answer. By the time I called back she cooled down.

I told her back then and even to this day I'm happy to be with her but I'm not scared to lose her. Life is going to go on either way. She said that was disrespectful because it sounds like I don't need her. I told her I don't need her but I want her to be in my life. I would rather someone want me over them needing me.

Am I wrong or being disrespectful?
Though you're correct. She's going to second guess you now. Should've just said yep. So when she potentially entertaining the advances of other men you can't get mad because she's going to bring this up. Classic case of putting your foot in your mouth. :francis:

As many have already said, you said too much. A man is supposed to be self sufficient and never need anyone, so most men will agree with your stance. But too much independence makes a woman feel unneeded in a man’s life and unwanted. When a woman feels that way, she looks elsewhere for the feeling of being wanted and needed. In this situation, instead of arguing with facts and logic (stating that you don’t need her), you could’ve either made a light joke about the situation (“God didn’t want you to leave me/aren’t you glad you didn’t leave? look at what we would’ve missed out on” etc) or you could’ve just did the opposite and made her feel like you do need her, even if you don’t. Remember that a woman’s emotions have to be validated and tended to in order for her to feel safe with a man. Logic and emotions are opposites, so sometimes by plainly stating a logical fact, you can be coldly dismissing her emotions in the process, which is what you did.

I actually had this same exact convo with my ex years after we broke up. I was already emotionally done with her so I wanted her to leave me alone. She said, “you don’t need me” and I said “I don’t.” That’s the last time I spoke to her. If you want a woman to stay around, you have to give her reassurance

You said nothing wrong.

If her mind is too immature and emotional to understand what you were saying then she is not worth your time and energy anyway.

She is not air, food, water nor shelter…you DON’T need her.

Women looking for someone that needs them…soulmates and shyt…be the main ones getting divorced. They are entering into the marriage with unrealistic and frankly, incorrect expectations. So they will never be happy or truly fulfilled.

Happiness is a function of expectations…and the ultimate expectation is believing that someone else “needs” you. Tell that woman to wake up.

:snooze:

Real talk, you should try to apologize to your girl for what you said. Don’t listen to the men in here because we don’t see anything wrong with being independent. Tell her you didn’t mean it like that and reassure her of how much she means to you and your life, without coming off too needy. If you don’t do this she’s going to cheat if she hasn’t already. In the future, express how much you appreciate her while continuing to act and think independently

Nope. You should never be dependant on another person.

You kept it real to me and that's the mentality you should have, but there's no way in hell I would say that to a woman that I really FW.

I think what you said was just keeping it all the way real.


Me and my girl was having an argument because she said years ago when we first got together I did something stupid and she called me on the phone to break up with me. I just happened to be busy so I couldn't answer. By the time I called back she cooled down.

Now I think this chit is disrespectful.

If this was “years ago” then why is she bringing it up now?
Because she’s trying to say maybe she shoulda broke up with you because of this (probably unrelated) argument?

Double Fucc that noise. You don’t need no charity relationship.

We were watching that Tyler Perry show sisters and it came up. She was saying she was close to breaking up years ago but didn't. Not saying she should've done it a long time ago. Just that it happened
