Ask HN: How do you describe what your relationship brings you?

I've been struggling to put into words what I want from my relationships and began asking my friends what their answers were, and so now I ask you.

    Warmth, intimacy, companionship, curiosity, discovery.

    Drama , pain and suffering, which is why I've largely given them up

    Someone to share my life with. Someone to share moments with. Someone to share jokes with, thoughts. Someone to share trouble with. Someone to connect with, to have human contact with.

    Joy, happiness, meaning, purpose, connection, shared objectives and target outcomes, in various parts, depending on person and relationship. “Find your people.”

    (who your partner is will be one of, if not the most, important decisions of your life; your friends and community are a close second, with professional network being important but not nearly as much as the first two)
