There's nothing wrong with wanting a partner and doing the things to have one. To protect ourselves, we have to say, 'I don't need one.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I do not believe, even remotely, that you have to have a partner in your life in order to be whole, in order to be complete, in order to be fulfilled. You just don't have to.
Is our desire for partnership just an evolutionary remainder, a Togetherness Delusion, where millions of women only think they need a relationship to be truly happy? Maybe. But you know what? That's fine with me.
Everybody wants to have a partner; everybody would love to have a family, and for trans people, sometimes that can be extraordinarily difficult to do.
I think it's important to be honest with yourself about what you want and it's important to be honest with your partner about what you need.
For the first time in my life I'm really happy to be unattached because I realise there is so much responsibility to having a partner.
Be willing to share all of who you are. So many of us want a partner, but we're not willing to show all of us.
Having experienced everything you don't want in a partner over time, it starts to narrow down to what you actually do want.
It's fun to have a partner who understands your life and lets you be you.
Demand no more out of your partner than what you are willing to give yourself.
I really desire a partner.
