[quote=Anonymous][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).

or you missed mine.

sex is a want
so is emotional support, most women get it from friends

It's okay to have wants but don't act like you can't control your actions because your wants are not met. [/quote]
