I couldn’t find whose comment you were referring to, so I may be getting your statement out of context.

However, I disagree with the idea of making the man (or the woman) feel “needed.” Just make them feel wanted. My girlfriend and I have been dating for 10 months. I expect we’ll get married. If we were to break up, it would be inconvenient to disentangle our lives. However, we still don’t need each other. But we both want to be together, and that desire is sustaining a strong relationship.

I think you’ll find it much easier to be independent and make the guy feel “wanted.”

That’s an interesting comment because I have seen posts on here where men say relationships and marriage are a losing prospect for them.  Fascinating.
