I disagree about implying that anyone is expected to do anything as far as needs are concerned, not from the lists I've ever seen.

Connection, for example, is a core human need. For instance you post on this forum and perhaps sense feeling connected to others in an online type of sense? Is that truly expecting others to do something for you?

Connection in an intimate relationship might not force another to meet that need, but if that were to go missing, a sense of disconnect could occur leading to feeling lonely and resulting in rekindling, couple's counseling or reevaluating if it's to proceed further.
