reader, anonymous, writes (4 April 2011): You will never get everything you need from just one person. That's why it's very important to be able to fill yourself up with good friendships, an active interest in life, and personal learning pursuits. To expect another person to provide that sustenance for you is too tall an order for anyone to fill. Happiness is built from within and your partner is the cherry on top. It could very well be your own emotional handicap and not his.

 This is too cryptic for any real insight. What void do you need filled? Why is your partner not able to fill it? How does his "emotional handicap" play into that picture?
