We don't need to make babies, some of us want to, and masturbation will suffice for basic sexual needs, though it may not be all that one could want:grin:

Neither of these so-called needs has anything whatsoever to do with obsession and self-destruction.  Why should someone create misery in their own life due to relational "failure" with a specific person? If it was about making babies, they would best serve this need by moving on to a willing candidate.  If it was about satisfying sexual needs, same game plan.  It's totally impractical to fixate on a particular person, and convince oneself that they have ruined your life.

This is not about needs, it is about neurosis.

Who would ever do such a silly thing? They would have to be daft.

The paradox is that a person will become more attractive the less they believe someone else's affection is needed. Love, by it's very nature, is love of the self. It goes to our very core, and the illusion of not being loved is the very core of our problems.

"The pain one carries is the love one withholds."

Honest love to others can't be hurt, because it's independent of the self.
But of course I know what you speak of. It's a rough way to learn about one's dependent 'love' (if one may still call it 'love', what I doubt).
