I think its all need-based. If you could fulfill all your needs and desires independently, where would the motivation be to form relationships? We use employers, colleagues, clients and customers to get money. We use mates to procreate and have sex with. We use friends for entertainment and so we won't be lonely. We needed are parents or other caregivers to ensure our survival and we ensure the survival our children because we need them to carry on our legacy and maintain the species. When I presented this line of thought to a friend, she said I was cynical misanthropic. But I just don't see what the big mystery is with relationships. We need each other, and use each other to fulfill those needs. Am I missing something?
