Or is that just the way so many women feel about men? Women want men to need them, and men dread women needing them.

I was talking about that to Goldie yesterday - how one of the biggest insults a man uses about a woman is that she's 'needy', which means he's gone off her.

It seems cruel that the more you love and need someone the less likely it is that they'll love and need you back.

Auden wrote once about having to be either the one who loves or the one who's loved.

He chose to be the one who loved. I don't know what I would choose. neither. I want it to be equal.
