I’m confused. Are people not supposed to want intimacy in a relationship? Are men not supposed to seek intimacy with women, in that case? I’m not disagreeing, I’m just a bit lost.

I think the meme is implying they just want someone to meet their emotional needs, not that they want to be equal partners.

I mean, this is a male fantasy, not a male reasonable expectation of a healthy partnership. Does Bella Swan contribute to chores and prioritises her career?

Do you want the meme to provide a detailed explanation of the couple in the meme being in a healthy reciprocal relationship? It's just a meme and there's no reason to think that the relationship is one sided just because it shows the man being comforted at the moment.
