I believe that Chapman even lists examples of needs being partially met outside of the relationship, but it has been a good while since I read his book. I know that Harley does site exceptions.
You have to account for practicality. I have recreational needs that I don't expect my wife to share with me, such as flying upside down.
If I am a mother, I can get SOME of my need for touch from my children. In a monogamous relationship, I can't (shouldn't) get my need for sex from a prostitute.
I like the "Love Languages" concept, but it begins to fall apart once a departure from practicality occurs.

I will ferret out an affair at any opportunity.
-An affair is the embodiment of entitlement, fueled by resentment and lack of respect. -An infidel will remain unreachable so long as their sense of entitlement exceeds their ability to reason.
