Do we really need a partner?

no, I don't think that finding the right partner is all nonsense.  I feel it is very true that it is pretty impossible to find the 'right' partner.  People are just so different.  However I don't feel that the monks have it right either, because spending all of your time focusing on inner growth won't do much good in the world.  The best answer to this question would have to be, that yes you should have a partner, but no you don't NEED a partner, because everyone is different, I know several people that work better alone and they are fine with it.  Most people shouldn't go through life alone, that's not why we were put here (not going into religious ideologies).  If people 100's of years ago went through life alone like people do now, I think that populations would be much smaller than they are today.

Neither really--it may sound cliche, but there is a time and place for meaningful relationships, and at other times you need the less complicated "meaningless" relationships.  I think what is more important is knowing what your needs are.  If you are not having the realationships you want, then things need to change.  If you are enjoying your life, whether in meaningful or meaningless relationships, then no change is required.  You should feel no guilt about NOT being in a really deep connection with someone.  It may not be the time for that in your life.

Yes, sometimes one just needs to be alone. It is great to have a partner to share moments with, but sometimes, it is very satisfying to be by yourself, make your own decisions and just please yourself!

I would think that we are lacking something in our relationship. Otherwise he wouldn't have the need to look for it anywhere. I would talk about it with my partner.

Sometimes.  But mostly because we need love and companionship just like everyone.  We could probably get this without being married but the committment of marriage makes us feel stable.

Learn to be comfortable with yourself, with or without a partner. If you're comfortable in your own skin, you'll be more likely to attract a partner if that's what you want.

Depends on what you think succeeding in life is, if happiness is included in the definition, then yes i think you need friends. Friends give you something to fall back on and real friends are always there when you need them. I love my friends.\n\n:)

"we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter."

Either as long as you can trust your partner and you draw up contracts if entering into a partnership.  May also be worth considering setting up a limited company as you can do this with a small business, and at least then you will not be personally liable if things do not go according to plan with your business idea.  Good Luck!

No, I think it's a great quality to have. Someone who can handle things themselves and be strong is a major plus. As long as there is some ME time

yes, if the two people are willing to work through hard times! there will always be ups and downs in a relationship, we need two people who are willing to work through it all.

being with your partner is in itself the best thing. as for doing things together, there may be plenty, but the most important ones i feels is to let your partner have your full attention, to let him/her know and feel that you care and are there for them, no matter what. these are special times to have fun together and to get to know each other more, cook, bake, read, watch a movie, shop, dance, play, laze around, do whatever but together. and yes thank the one above every single second for giving you your beloved's company.
