tonight my bf was telling me that one of his friend's "needs" his girlfriend but she doesnt need him so I asked him which one of us needs the other in our relationship and he said neither of us need the other one exactly but we love each other and want to be with each other

at first it kinda bothered me bc I thought "why doesn't he need me"😕... then I started thinking ab it (and googling it lol) and I think it a good thing that we dont necessarily need each other.. of course we need each other when one is sad or something but we are actually together because we want to be. it isnt bc we "need" to feel loved or whatever the case may be...

what do yall think ?
