Relationships and interests and Isabella Rossellini

It seems to me that many women (most?) expects that she, and the relationship, must be the most important thing in their man's life. This always seemed wrong to me.

So it's refreshing to hear Isabella Rossellini says in this interview (last half of the video) that if her man pays too much attention to her, she thinks, "what's wrong with you, don't you have something to do, something important to think about?"

And she lives it too, in fact she only talked about it because the interviewer brought up that it seemed to him that her husbands had always been men for whom she came second in their life.

Update: it just seems to me that considering a single person to be more important than the whole world put together is highly irrational.

An online friend of mine split up with her boyfriend because of his clinging to her too tightly, and she felt kind of suffocated.

There is a freedom to muck about in one's own life when your partner is preoccupied with mucking about in theirs. Some people value that, and worry that a relationship will blur the boundaries and muck will spill over. Few like to clean up others' muck.
