What do you think when a person says that their boyfriend/girlfriend "completes" them?

Here's my opinion:
Personally I think it's a bit weird when someone who's in a relationship claims that their partner "completes" them... basically by that they're saying they are half of a whole person without their partner, which really doesn't make any sense. You are a whole not a half. Completion of yourself comes from within. 
Basically what I'm saying is instead of completing them, I believe their partner complements them. So to me its not about completion, but rather just working well together, kind of like a team, with similar goals! :]

What do you think? I'd love know your opinions! :] And not just on this specific subject, I also want to hear your opinions about love, dating and relationships in general.

I believe that people that need to be completed are suffering from co-dependency issues or feelings of inadequacy. There should be three aspects to a health self - happily spending time alone, happily spending time with your friends and happily spending time with your partner. Because only one of the three aspects has to do with your partner it is more accurate to say they compliment you. When either person abandons the other two aspects of a healthy self, the relationship becomes unhealthy.

You ask good questions and I will be looking for other threads of yours in the future.

Every person should be able to stand on their own and be their own man or woman.  Humans are social creatures and we require socialization for happiness and healthiness but we should not rely on a single other individual to make us who we are.

My wife does not complete me.  She does compliment me in such a manner as she brings out the best in me.  We work well together, we operate at a high level of success and we love each other.  I would not be nearly as happy without her but I wouldn't be lost and I certainly don't think I'm incomplete.  

People put a lot of stock in relationships and some people are more interested in being in a relationship than being in a relationship with a certain person.  That's why guys are sometimes afraid to marry.  The girl wants to check off 'married' as a status and he happens to be there when she decides it's time.  That's the bad side of this.  

The good side is when it works and you have a couple who know each other inside and out, who are together for years and years and can have entire conversations with facial expressions, glances, and gestures.  That's what I have and I'm lucky for it.

Pretty much what everyone else said, don't be a needy clingy person who has to be around said partner and "completes" them.

SelenaSapphayre17 :

Well, I have been single for many years so I have not met a person that I can say makes me experience those feelings, but I do believe it is possible. The basis of my belief that it is possible for someone to feel completed when they’re in a relationship is that I have seen people who have been married for many years, when unfortunately one passes away, the other can basically become a shell of themselves. I saw this first hand with one of my grandfathers. He was extremely attached to his second wife (he and my grandmother got divorced before I was even born.)

 

She was a very sweet lady and looked at his grandchildren as her own. When she passed away my grandfather literally aged and he was never really the same person after she passed. It was only a few years after she passed that we lost him. I do believe that he did in essence lose his other half and although he was still my grandfather, it was clear that for him something was missing.

 

I do think that there is such a thing as the term “soul mates” and I think that for some when they say that the person their relationship with completes them, it very well may be true. Sometimes however, it can be difficult to really know. Sometimes you can pick the wrong person and actually think that their right for you. For some people it can take a long time to find that special person. I do believe though that it is possible. It’s just a scenario of right place, right time, right circumstance, and right person that can be tricky. I do believe in the old saying that when it happens you’ll know it.

If you take the term very literally, it is a bit much. But I think the expression is really meant to mean: This person has qualities that really work with the other. What one lacks, the other has. These two work like a great team. Etc.

While it's important to be independent, it's just as important to be interdependent in a relationship. It's kinda like a three legged race. Someone who isn't participating and walk and run no problem on their own. But for those in the race, one partner "completes" the other.

That's how I usually take it when I hear it.

It kind of gets annoying. I mean sure, you and whoever you're in love with need to work together/be in sync to make it work. But you're you. I'm not talking to the left half of a person am I? No. I'm talking to the whole, complete *insert name here*. I think people just say that others complete them meaning they fill a void for them.

If someone I knew told me that their spouse or boy/girlfriend mad them "complete" and would be lost without them, I would probably immediately vomit on their shirt, and never have to talk to them again anyway. 

I would agree with phantom brain in that someone who says that must be suffering from a co-dependency issue. There are people in my life that it would tear me to shreds if I lost contact with them, or god forbid they died, but if they do, it's important to keep your own identity and self worth so you don't drown yourself in depression if that does happen.

It has a lot to do with accepting yourself for who you are as an individual, which is harder for some than others.

I still am undecided if calling your spouse a "life partner" is moore creepy than calling your pet as your child.

Honestly it annoys me... I don't think a partner can complete you.. I feel like they can make you fill a hole in your heart that was empty but.. completing somebody is kind of weird like you said. All my friends used to say it and I just didn't understand why they would say that because they are a whole person not a half... they kept saying it's just that saying when your in love.. and I'm like 2 weeks later.. wow he completes you yet you guys just broke up because he went off cheating on you with another girl.. that makes so much sense.

When someone says their boyfriend / girlfriend "completes" them... eh, that sounds weird to me. I can understand if their lover fills them up with the qualities they do not have, but saying they complete them makes me think they believe they will be together forever.... which may or may not even happen... like what a few people here said, it's a bit annoying.

Well I think its .. goof for THEM .... know they might feel like they can't survive without the other and are equally dependent on each other ... so there comes the trust . BUT if one were to ... I dunno .. die .. or cheat .. or move away ... then that would probs be bad cuz the one left would have a hard tie getting over him/her . My gfs don't complete me . I am completed  . They just make me better :3 .
