Are you single? Having doubts about monogamy? After all, how is it possible for one person to meet all of your relationship needs?

“The idea that one person can meet all of your needs,” says Dr. Fleming, “I totally agree, is not necessarily reasonable or true. We are so unique and diverse in our interests and our passions that it doesn’t make sense that one person is going to sustain and fulfill all those needs.”

    No, one person can not meet all of your specific needs because no one is perfect…. That’s why it’s called the 80/20 rule and not the 100/0 rule.

    I have always wondered about this topic but in the end, it is about being realistic about love and finding who will make you happy, regardless if they have everything you want.
