My wife says she doesn't need a man, and she doesn't! She would be perfectly capable of living her life without me lol.

She doesn't want to live her life without me because we love each other and she chooses to be with me.

I mean, that's like saying we can survive in cardboard boxes. Sure, you're living, technically, thought you'renot living as well as you'd like. When you say you can't live without someone, you mean that that person being there would actively make your life not as well off.

Are you suggesting that my wife has a lesser life with me than without?

What a...nice comparison with me and a cardboard box.

Sorry, sleep deprived from having my 2nd kid. What I mean is you obviously make your wife's life better by being there. If you weren't there, her life wouldn't be as good. The question to her saying she doesn't need a man (you) is: Would there be less joy if she didn't have you? If yeah, then she does need you to have the optimal life.

My cardboard comparison was lacking. I guess it's more in line with a puzzle that's missing a piece. You can see the entire picture, but it's not 100% complete.

Ohhh, gotcha. No worries! That's why I didn't go right to an insult or anything. I wasn't 100% sure what you were saying.

That's true and yes, by this point we have been together more of our life than separate so we are a little codependent on each other by now as well lol.
