I resemble that comment.
Not only was I proud of it, I was relieved b/c I wanted the guarantee that he wouldn't leave, and I thought that's what made me a valuable partner - being such a supportive, strong wife. I never considered or realized that it was much better and much healthier to be in a relationship where two people weren't so needy and dependent on the other person...
