"Il n’est probablement pas juste par hasard que je suis seule. Il serait très difficile pour un homme de vivre avec moi à moins qu’il ne soit terriblement fort. Et s’il est plus fort que moi c’est moi qui ne peux pas vivre avec lui."

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, people find it hard to be in a relationship because of their strong personalities. Being very independent or having firm beliefs can make it difficult for someone who isn't equally strong to feel comfortable. Imagine a very determined person who always wants things done their way; to stay happy, they would need a partner who doesn't easily get overpowered by them or surrenders. But if the partner is too forceful or tries to take control, the independent person would feel uneasy and unable to stay in the relationship. Take Amelia Earhart, the famous aviator, for example. If she had a partner who didn't understand or respect her passion for flying, it would be tough for her to feel satisfied in that relationship. Likewise, if her partner tried to control her or make her give up her dreams, she wouldn't stay with them because she valued her independence too much. So, finding the right balance is key; both need to be strong in ways that complement each other, not clash. In our everyday lives, this means understanding that true compatibility is more than just love—it's about matching strengths and accepting each other's strong points without being overwhelmed or feeling the need to dominate. Thus, the compatibility is about mutual respect and balance in strength.
