Can One Person Completely Satisfy The Needs Of Another?
Author: siggyCan one person completely satisfy the needs of another? I once had a major fight with a girl friend over that. She said “Yes.” I said, “No.” Sure, you want your “other” to satisfy most of your needs but all? To me, that relationship would become awfully ingrown (and stale). Other relationships add to your main one. Of course, you have to be very careful how you carry on with the opposite sex. And maintain a relationship very carefully so you don’t threaten your partner. Under very special, open conditions. I can’t delineate the boundaries. You have to do that. Maybe a relationship in his/her presence as couples. We are all different and other people bring out different qualities in you. And then these qualities brought out by someone else you can add to your main relationship. Relationships with the same sex are a little easier to maintain. It is always a balancing act. You do not want to diminish your relationship with your partner. Each person you meet should add something positive to you. Having a network of friends takes some of the pressure off your mate. No one person can satisfy all your needs. Nor should you try.
