Conversation at work

During informatl talk about our weekend I mentioned how I saved up for an appartment, but am currently waiting to see how things work out with Mr.R. Mr. Gnome said:

'well, you can choose between being a strong, independent woman and buying your own place, or a relationship'

me: *stunned silence* (I know he is saying this to provoke me)

him:'My wife held on to her rental appartment for seven years after we moved in together before she finally let go'

me:'your wife and I are very different people. I am from the generation that wants it all. I don't see why I can't be a strong independent woman while being in a loving relationship.'

I don't get it. Nobody ever says' 'he was such a strong independent man, but once he met his wife he turned into a codependent sissy boy'
