We all have our needs,
and no one person
can fulfill everyone of them,
absolutely
no one.
If I try to substantiate them,
it would broadly be,
Emotional Needs,
Intellectual Needs,
Spiritual Needs,
Physical Needs,
Material Needs.
Try as I may,
I will never be able to fulfill
all of my partner's needs,
and vise versa.
To make matters worse,
people's needs
change through time,
contantly.
Infidelity is never
a solution.
Because affairs or flings
are short term in nature,
and they leave behind
unspeakable pain
and
irreparable damage.
I will never ever
cause this pain,
or be the cause
of this pain.
I know very well
how unbearable
it hurts.
So either,
we teach our partners
to fulfill at least part
of the void,
or we learn,
to settle
for a bit less.
So long as,
on balance,
we're generally happy.
Not necessarily
ecstatic bliss,
just happy.
Because I feel wary
when I get ravished
by delirious happiness,
only pigs in shit do that.
