Independent means not depending on someone. Mauli is financially independent but emotionally she is not independent so therefore you can't be independent in my opinion if you rely on others to make you happy. Mauli keeps crying saying she can't live without kunal and kunal is her life. I know that's her husband but I don't like the so called independent women that tv shows where the financially secure woman takes her cheating husband back. I saw a show where the husband kept cheating and wife kept forgiving him and taking him back and people kept saying she's independent because she works. If you can't live without a partner supporting you then your not independent in my book.

Emotionally everyone is dependent on someone. Bahut hi koi rare exception hoga . Husband wife will surely be emotionally dependent on each other. And it's not that, u can be emotionally dependent on ur friend, siblings
Reg taking cheaters back, well Mauli has just been revealed the truth. Let's wait how track unfolds.
the main thing is to have ur self respect intact whether u r independent dependent financially or emotionally.. At the end of ur life, I believe only that will matter.
Even a housewife who might be dependent financially is independent in other aspects I am dependent on my momfor many things, may be not financially. And I am not talking abt household chores. I need her advice, her emotional support all the time.
For me the main in life is to live with ur head held high.
Rest all come later.

For me, an independent woman who is capable of making her own decisions whenever the time & situation demands.
By your definition, only single, isolated people will be independent. People find themselves emotionally dependent on parents, siblings, friends, partners, children. Human beings can't live without forming some level of emotional dependence.

I don't think emotional dependence make anyone dependent. Because with that definition, there is hardly anyone who is independent.

Let me tell you, I am old enough and I NEVER been depended on a man. The only person I am emotionally depended on is my mom but that's blood. You can never depend on friends or men or women partner because you'll end up hurting yourself when they cheat on you or backstabbed you. I learned just last year never trust friends because I saw their true colors.

Never is a strong word. Every one has different psyche. There can't be no static, fundamental parameter for that. Some things are subjective which is why they better remain unquestioned.
Anyone can betray anyone. My father was heavily emotionally dependent on his own father & 5 sisters & all 6 of them brutally betrayed him for property, even when he was doing everything for them.

So, to say that blood relation guarantees no-betrayal or no-backstabbing isn't any norm. I have seen blood-relations betraying like nothing & this betrayal is all the more terrible since never in your worst dreams do you expect those blood relations to betray you.

I am not saying all blood related are good to trust, I have siblings, some I trust and I don't trust. I have friends but I don't trust them blindly I learned the hard way last year. But all I am saying is that if you are married don't trust your spouse blindly because you'll be shocked at the end. A coworker said "Don't sleep under a rock. I just hope they show Mauli as a strong woman whose not going to take him back after he cheated

its good you care about blood relations but there are people who give equal importance to relations other than blood..
and why cant one be dependent emotionally on his/her partner?? 😕
then whats the purpose of marriage?? 😆 reproduction???
for me its companionship and a sense of belonging to someone which is great..
even if i talk in general, if there is no emotional dependence then NO society can exist on this planet .

All I am saying is that don't lose your mind over someone. I told this story that happened to my coworker here where she blindly trusted her man and he was cheating on her for all the years they been together. She completely lost her mind into breaking things, going to jail and losing her casody over her son. Us women are so fragile crying over someone. We need to be strong women and learn to move on in life, go to therapy if you but don't be weak into losing mind
Or taking the cheater back. I need to see a strong woman moving on with her life after struggle

Being Strong doesn't mean that you can't be betrayed or hurt ever or you can never feel weak. Being strong means that you will rise up again for yourself, for those who care about you despite everything that has put you down in the past.

No one makes relationship for being betrayed or getting hurt. They make it for companionship. Betrayal comes when someone willingly betrays you & that's the fault of the betrayer. Broken trust hurts badly, it doesn't matter if it was blind or not blind. When someone is betrayed, the pain of betrayal is same for all. Everyone has their own pace to recover from that. Everyone is affected differently from that.
Even if you don't sleep under the rock, doesn't mean rock can't hurt you in other ways.

I'll give a Bollywood example. Deepika was madly in love with ranbir and she probably still crazy about him but what thing I loved about her is that how she became so focus in her career, success after breakup and that's what I like to see after a partner cheated on you. You becoming successful emotionally or professionally that gives courage to other women to move on in life.
