We define a Cinderella complex, the situation in which a woman believes that she needs a man to live or be happy. In this way, while she is alone, it is as if she is in danger, looking for someone who can save her from her chaotic reality. Below you can see some of the main signs of this complex:
You hope he makes you happy
The biggest mistake of women who suffer from the Cinderella Complex is the belief that their happiness depends on their partner. We say it's a mistake, because no one is able to bring happiness to another person, besides that we all have perfect capacity to be happy alone, without any loving relationship.
Do you prefer 'strong' men
For women who suffer from the Complexion of Cinderella, your partner needs to be someone who demonstrates brute strength and protective character. Thus, they relate much more to the archaic view of what a “real man” is and do not mind if they have a tendency to be bossy and even aggressive.
You always want to please ‘your man’
Furthermore, these women always believe that their role is to please and bring well-being to their partner. Therefore, they will spare no efforts to do whatever pleases them, with complete dedication to the wills, and even whims, of the man they are with. But you have to be careful, as this treatment can inflate men's egos.
You can't stand being alone
Finally, we have a feature that makes it very clear what the life of someone who lives with the Cinderella Complex is like. In this case, these women don't know how to deal with themselves and are totally unhappy while they don't have a man to "complete" them. However, this situation ends up causing them more suffering.
