I'm confused as to how you got that from my post. What I was trying to say is that the happiness of the two individuals is dependent. If one is unhappy, the other can't be happy. They both are either happy or unhappy. In theory this goes both ways in the relationship so the two people try and make the other one happy.
The selfishness of the emotion is that in order for you to be happy, the other person has to be happy. Their happiness is what makes you happy. So you go out of your way to make them happy.
I wonder if I could write happy any more times than I've just done....
