[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Need is bit of a stretch.

You mean want.[/quote]

Point taken, but I don't think it's binary. It's not a "need" in the sense that, say, oxygen is a need. But, at the same time, going long enough without sex has adverse consequences on my marriage and probably everyone's. It's not a "want" in the same way, having pancakes sometimes is a want. I mean, I could go the rest of my life without pancakes and not really diminish my life in any appreciable way even though I want pancakes from time to time. Sex is somewhere in the middle. [/quote]

My teen thinks fortnite is a need too and it adversely affects our relationship when I take it away.
Mits not a need dude you just act like an a$$ when you don't get what you want.[/quote]
My wife claims that emotional support and me wanting to "hear about her day" is a need too. Sorry, those are wants, and I only do those things when I damned well please. Twice per month is plenty for me. She acts like such a be-atch when I don't do those things more, like that's REALLY going to make me want to spend quality time with her!! I forbid her from going elsewhere for emotional support or quality talking, 'cause you know that is cheating.[/quote]

She is using the word "need" to manipulate you. It's not a need. It's a want and she bought some book about love languages or some other crap pop psychology that talked about emotional needs. They also use the word incorrectly.

She sounds like a spoiled bitch. My condolences.

You both are terribly controlling and manipulative... birds of a feather. [/quote]
You clearly missed the sarcasm. Let me spell it out for you: sex (for men) is a NEED (not a want) that's equivalent to emotional support (for women). Men or women who fail to recognize the legitimacy of their partner's needs, and don't happily meet this need on a regular basis, deserve the inevitable consequences (affairs and divorce).
