    People need people. Not "love to have" - need, 'cause we're social creatures like that. When you find someone who fulfills that need in a way you see fit - whether it's "stay one night every week" or "live with me" or anything else - it's very difficult to let go of such a person.

Some would argue that if your love for someone is inherently tied up in the fulfilment you derive from that person, then it is not really love at all. That need and love for someone cannot coexist.
