I don't think the quote is particularly negative.

last week my wife and I met an older man "a complete stranger" in the supermarket. He started talking to us about being independent and knowing how to do things if the other person is no longer around. He used himself as a example. After his wife passed he didn't know how to grocery shop, let alone cook anything he bought. Because his wife did it and he really struggled for a long time with those simple task. I've always been a very independent person. I can cook, shop, fix things as well as anyone. But you made me think, could I be to independent and it effects my wife in a negative way?
