My dilemma....
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
Here is the dilemma. What does one do if they do not bring a need to a relationship? By this I mean that often times one individual brings something to the relationship that the other cannot provide. This may be the ability to fix things around the house, or work on the car or even the skill of cooking. But what of the other with no such desired, yet lacking, skills? How does one go about discovering something that makes them needed? Can one survive in a relationship when they are not needed?
I do understand that want and need are very different. One may want to be in a relationship and care about the other very much. But, how does the lacking individual make up for the obvious skewed relationship. Is this something that one just ignores and lives with the fact that 'want' is present and 'need' is not needed? This is my dilemma. How does one stand on equal ground when they feel they require more of the other than the other requires of them.
