What I mean is, how do you deal with the logical conclusion that no one can ever truly be relied on and that you can always find yourself alone with no support?

Or do you disagree with this conclusion and think that some people can be relied on and that you can know that you won’t end up alone?

And if you are alone, how do you deal with the inherent human yearn for others when you know that you can never truly rely on them?

Edit: To clarify, I am talking about personal relationships and not about professional or paid help.

    How is my wife looking after me for the past 6 years because I can barely do anything myself anymore (thanks to Covid) “transactional”? She’s the one who earns the money, by the way.

      I would need a lot more deeply personal information on your relationship and history to answer that for you.

      If you genuinely consider what you have previously brought to the relationship and what you’re bringing today I’m sure you’ll find some answers.
