Thank god you got out of that relationship! You sound much happier. Control over your own life is important, and independence is a great way to manifest that control.
Thankfully I am not in a trapped scenario. We have a good balanced partnership.
The reason that I responded as I did is that this is a topic I think about. In my profession there are relatively few women and we are not treated as well as our male counterparts. For this to change women need to work together, but very often competative, catty bullshit gets in the way.
Like I said before, things can be complicated enough with guys, I hate when girls start criticizing one another unnecessarily.
But then, we don't know eachother so there's that!
