I'm about to tell you something that I think you both may have some difficulty getting -- mainly because at the times when I find myself feeling that I need something or somebody, I still "know" this but I have trouble getting it myself.

For me, needs are paradoxical and what counts most is not what needs I have, but how I hold them. Rather than try to say this from scratch, though, let me link you to where I said it before. That whole thread may turn out to be of some interest to you, for that matter.
