They are good mothers to their children, ideal wives to their husbands, dutiful children to their parents, loyal lovers, and reliable friends, in a nutshell; they are the best of everything... In spite of that they are the ones who are always unhappy, why is that so? Is it because they ignore themselves, or because they always live for others? Is their tiredness because of that, they make their spouses' lives much easier than necessary….

In fact, the woman, who can solve every problem and takes on the responsibilities, always makes the man; she is with, used to the comfort. As successful and devoted to everything, she does not leave much to do to the man.  She does anything to be done herself and on behalf of him anyway. The man knows that she will do whatever is necessary, and fix any kind of problems... Those women live for others all the time, take care of the needs, choose or prepare everything the others would like; they always think about the others... After all, they are powerful but equally tired women; who have dedicated their lives, exerted themselves and shown unnecessary dedication and sacrifice...

Powerful women try to do all their work themselves because they don't know any other way. They earn their own money, they can continue their lives without needing a man, and they can face all the difficulties of life themselves. They do not want anyone to interfere with themselves, question their decisions, and impede their lives or what they do since they are lonely warriors that challenge life... 

“It is sad that weak men cannot have strong women easily... Those women require effort and sacrifice; actually, they are undemanding, light in weight but heavy in value. They make the life of men easy. Even though it is difficult to sustain the relationship with a strong woman, the one, who is found guilty in the end, is the woman... A strong woman is special, the rest is not important to tell...” said Cemal Sureya and he summed it up beautifully...

That is exactly why these women are obliged to be unhappy... 

When strong women take on the responsibility of what their partners should do, in fact, they also take their victories and eagerness away... They leave no reason for them to struggle or effort. Naturally, men without enthusiasm look for some other occasions, where they will be able to make an impact.

What is interesting is that while these women expect to be cherished, they happen to be the most deceived or abandoned women and their relationships always happen to end with disappointment… They never understand the reason why it happened... To crown it all, the women chosen after them are seemed to be insufficient, unskilled, in need and weak... For men, those become the reason for preference. It touches a man to know someone needs him. That flatters his pride and makes him feel strong... 

These weak women are dependent on men and live by needing them. Men can never leave these women because they are powerless, weak and fragile women. If they happen to break up, they cannot survive as they need to be protected... The most interesting fact is that these women are always more valuable to men...

What strong women do is to quietly watch how everything has become like this from the distance.…

When women walk away one day, they leave a lot of orphan-like things behind.

Cupboards in the kitchen, curtains, old buttons collected in a jar, carefully saved old/small-sized clothes, the ribbons deep in the closets...

The old comb in the drawer is now abandoned. 

The sounds coming from the kitchen early in the morning is gone, the plates are left all alone. 

When a woman walks away, the flowers are forgotten to be watered. 

The “Creeping Jenny” often wilts. 

Nobody knows what the glass, which is only one left out of a set, means or no one understands the value of the chrome coated hajj pot brought from Mecca. 

The balcony is now silent. The corridor is abandoned when a woman leaves...

When a woman walks away, so many people; a worker, a cleaning lady, a nurse, a gardener, and an accountant, leave... A mother leaves, a friend, a lover... So many people are gone actually when a woman walks away.”
