I would rather be with someone who wanted my company, than needed me for something I provide. And vice versa.
Why is it insecure to prefer to choose your partner out of want of their company than need for their assets/capabilities?
I thought men hated to be regarded as a walking wallet?
Maybe is it how you regard the difference between "want" and "need"
Oh - it cuts both ways - I see both the drama kings and the queens and the writer is correct - they do seek out people who they can drain, much to their partners detriment.
You rarely see a couple who are both seeking center stage with a neurotic need for reassurance. Though that would be a perfectly deserving pairing, the drama kings and queens of our world need someone to provide the audience.
