What makes us need intimate relationships so desperately?
Humans just can’t live happily and balanced without love and sharing an intimate relationship with someone is one of the most fulfilling complete things we can do. I know people don’t like talking about people being made whole by being with someone else, but it’s very true. Once you experience the feeling of THAT kind of wholeness maybe then it’s possible to understand what it doesn’t mean, like the loss of self or your independence.
