As a young woman I heard a young man lament, "Women don't want a man, they want a savior!" That is the first time I recognized it in myself, and I have been wrestling with it until this day. It has led to a solitary life because I could never seem to allow both needs to coexist in my life. This women's words are so enlightening, but I need more expansion of her ideas. Thanks for the lead!

@@julieolson1402 I suspect we all, men and women, want a saviour. That’s why religions are so ubiquitous in our cultures as they promise some sort of ‘care’ in one way or another. Jung said ‘We must find what supports us when nothing supports us’. In my experience this is particularly challenging for independent women who are still swimming against the tide of cultural values. Might I suggest ‘The Pregnant Virgin: it is a wonderful book by Marion Woodman. It ‘fell off a shelf’ at me in a bookshop 35 yrs ago just as guidance was needed. Her work is profound, showing both courageous vulnerability and strength. To find such brave writing by a woman was most unusual back then and it really helped. It does to this day.

Based on my observations on heterosexual relationships, that seems to be an issue with men more than women. Although, yes, women also do it.

Wow ❤. I wrote a song earlier this year with the lines “being a free man in this world is no easy feat, it’s the brave ones who know themselves that don’t give into defeat”. As I’m going through an awakening right now all words of encouragement are helpful 🙏🏽

@Tia.K.C As you truly understand your needs and desires, hold your boundaries with kindness and consistency, but without hesitation or compromise. The more I learn about myself and relationships, I understand that women instinctively and unconsciously push men's boundaries as a test. Men who tell us no from authenticity and hold their boundaries no matter how much they love us are the ones that we can feel safe with. We don't do it consciously and we don't know how much it can be misunderstood. If we know where your boundaries are and that you will consistently "hold the line" We feel safe and can relax into our feminine energy. If we don't, we aren't ready for an authentic relationship. Please keep doing the work to heal. ❤️

She's using the soap opera romance trope to illustrate power dynamics in relationships, and specifically, how a woman can use seduction/romance/love as a tool to enmesh with and manipulate a lover. And really, this kind of codependency (i.e. power dynamic) is pretty commonly accepted in western culture as actual love (spoiler alert...its power, not love). And then the flip side is like, being in love with abuse. When you're trying to heal your past wounds thru a lover who is abusive to you. The idea is like, this person doesn't treat me very well, so they must not believe my love is worth very much (or, that * I * am worth very much). But if I just "love" them enough and remain loyal long enough, then that will persuade them to see they were wrong about me. That will make them change their mind about me and realize that I AM worth loving and being treated respectfully.... This, too, is a shadow aspect of power dynamics. Our refusal to accept someone as they are, including when they are disrespectful and abusive, is not loving-not to them and ESPECIALLY not to ourselves. Our attempts at trying harder to "get them to" change their mind about us is still manipulation. It's still our attempt at trying to controlling the other person. It's still power dynamics, no matter how well-intentioned we may believe ourselves to be.

Very well said. But this is not a western phenomenon, but a human one. From my own observations I perceive codependent people as some kind of passive narcissists. They are not that innocent as they seem indeed. Their identity relies on approval from others. If they don’t do the necessary shadow work… with age… they will live in total illusion. And they will be very defensive about it. I see this more or less in a lot of human beings. They get calcified and reject new information. For most people truth is not important, comfortable lies is. So basically they are all living in a bubble and the bubble gets bigger if they don’t wan’t to face truth. One of the most important secret laws of this world.

Then I understand why the collaborative projects I start, only work when I don't really care about them. It's not because I don't put all my effort in, it's because I have no specific vision for myself in them. Personal romantic relationships are more difficult, I will have to think about it and watch this again.

This is not the way to speak about this - from the standpoint of pointing out what people should not do because thry dont know better. This is not just the western problem it is universal. It is just manifested differently in different cultures.
