Why do we "need" partners.....? (30)
smoky: In life, why is there always an eternal search for a partner? Why are we not happy being alone?
I was watching my son and his wife this evening ... they grumble to each other, smile at each other, he complains, she explains .... and I thought to myself "Here are two people SO happy with being together, travelling the same path, not needing anyone else to complete them", and it just got me to thinking WHY is there this need for one human to want another as a permanent companion? What is it that makes us lonely?
Any ideas on this strange mindset us humans have?... Other than the usual "Humans are tribal, blah blah".....?

not tribal to me it again is simple it gets boring talking to yourself all the time. If you are your best company there must be something wrong with either you or all the rest

For me it's quite simple, to have someone to give my love to, and receive love in return, someone to share and build a life with, someone to hold, and be held by, to make love with.
Lonliness is not having someone to share it all with.
People need people.

Hey kid so you said it more eloquently.
but you did steal this from somebody else here is the proof
wooffy: Hey kid so you said it more eloquently.

but you did steal this from somebody else here is the proof
That was funny, Wooffy
Kidding aside, I would agree with Kidatheart.. the first part, especially. There is nothing better than to have someone to love and who loves you back to share your life with.
You can have as much friends as you want, as much family around you, success in the job and a fat bank account -- but it's never the same happiness you feel when you have a partner you love with you on your side -- someone who is always there for you and with you, no matter what.
Of course, there has to be mutual love and respect; otherwise, it will just be more trouble than it's worth. You'll just end up more miserable then. I know that you could still feel lonely even when you're with someone, when it's the wrong person.

I feel we all have a yearning to be with someone to share our life happiness and sadness with......
Its somthing inbuilt in us to have someone to give our love to , for the company, to have fun with and make love to ...its a normal want... its not always a need but its a desire most of us have..

How nicely said, Sass
Like you said, it's not always a need -- as you can also be happy alone with other things -- but it's a desire to make life even more colourful.
Friends and family will not always be there with you, as they also have their own lives to live -- when they have a partner of their own. They will be there for you, but not always..
Hi Ama 
--- perhaps we need someone to bear witness to our truths whether they agree with them or not without predjudice ,aaand all that fuzzy wuzzy stuff

I think it is okay to need people, to look for that love that evades so many people.
I don't mind admitting that I need a partner, I want him to want me, need me and I want to be wanted and needed too.
Why? Because I think we are humans, we want to love and we want to take care of people, we can be happy without a person, of course we can, but oh, when we find a person that we connect with it makes it all so much nicer. To be held, to have someone cook us a meal, hand us a glass of wine on our return, hold us and wake up with us.
My father and stepmother squabble about the silliest things, yet I rethink the word silly, it sounds silly, but it is not. Butter! Yes, the real stuff, real, lovely butter. My dad craves it and together we sneak around with our real butter. Not that muck you have in tubs, with all sorts added that make it spreadable, lowers your cholesterol, low fat, muck that sticks to the roof of my mouth. My stepmother will not allow my father because of cholesterol, he does not have high cholesterol, she does, so she in her infinite wisdom, thinks he'll eat what I eat.
So when I join them, I buy real butter, I don't have a cholesterol problem either, I like my butter, I don't eat chocolate, just a knob of butter in my pasta, stirred through, a knob on my veggies, tiny little one with some lovely sea salt, it all makes it worthwhile. And dad and I sneak some on his plate and she can see it, eyes like a bloody hawk that women, and she glares at me and she says 'here you with your real butter, you have given him some' and then an argument ensues, and I sit there listening to them, and I cannot help but smile, because I know she is doing because she loves him and he would not have it any other way. He adores her and she is taking care of him, to a naked eye, it would appear that it was a marriage heading for divorce, but to me it is love and that is what they have...
And it is damn wonderful to watch and I know he needs her and she him.
No explaination smokes, why we do what we do, why we need what we need, but I prefer to be with a person who is going to tell me to stop doing something because he loves me, than trying to convince myself and never manage it...
And I am yet to read, a person who says 'I don't need a partner, I want one'
And I think those people do. Because I used to think like that and I never knew how much I needed one until I had one.

Hi all....maybe this will answer the question somewhat:
Our souls contain an equal balance of masculine and feminine energies, each vibrating at different speeds of light, yet co existing in complete harmony. These two contrasting yet harmonious fragments of soul energy are called twin souls , twin flames or twin rays.
These aspects of the same soul can separate from each other in order to experience life as physical man and physical woman and at a certain level of spiritual growth we seek to become reunited with our twin. This yearning sends a clear message to our soul which if both are incarnated at the same time guides the twin flames towards each other.
Reunion with our twin is important to enable us to balance our masculine and feminine energies which expands our consciousness and leads to the rapid spiritual growth of both partners. However,not all twin reunions are harmonious or can survive the intensity of the attraction. The spiritual bond can be ruptured if one or both partners are emotionally immature. Personalities and egos can disrupt even the most sacred of unions and twin souls are so similar being on the same wavelength and immersed in one another that they can shut out the outside world and live only for one another.
