It was always the military wives groups that pushed the idea of independence. They were idiots who were often headed towards divorce. If my wife and I were independent we wouldn’t be married. Just like I don’t need to be married to someone just like me, with all the same “equal” characteristics as me, but want someone who compliments me, oh, perhaps in a complimentary or patriarchal way ( and my wife is very much in agreement). Even separated by miles we were still not independent, but we were not dependent on each other either. We were interdependent. We relied on each other without life stopping because we couldn’t be together. I am grateful those days are over now that I am retired from the military and only have my civilian job to worry about.

Thanks for throwing a bone to us Shakespeare buffs out there with the Polonius reference 👍 I must confess that his speech to Laertes contains great advice but he is rather pompous.
