and not to sound trite, but I will consider myself on the next level when I can meet my own needs without "needing" someone else. wanting is okay, needing not so much ok. and I'm pretty close.
God, not trite at all. I agree completely. Am learning to - and that I can and should - meet my own needs. I'll be ready for another R when I'm convinced I don't need another R.
Though some "unmet needs" do require another person
