Has anyone ever told you this? Have you ever said this to anyone?
I suspect many of us eventually look for a meaningful relationship with that special person. We look for a true partner who will share our moments of joy and watch our backs in times of need. Our fear may be that this person may try to control us, to change us, to hurt us.
So we've dumped that last stupid person who had control issues, and have set out searching for a fresh partner who truly understands the need and value of a sharing, committed relationship. Certainly we are already prepared to share a meaningful and lasting life with someone. We just have to find the right person who feels the same way.
A girlfriend once told me that I made her nervous because I didn't try to control her. I responded by saying that I was not aware of anything I said or did, either directly or indirectly, that in any way tried to control her. She agreed with me and stated that was what made her so nervous.
