CW, I am not sure this is a healthy way to look at this.
Maybe? What happened led me to where I am. I like where I am.

I believe she feels secure. I hope she never feels so secure she ignores me for an extended time.

If she stopped meeting my needs, and after communicating that enough time passed without her making an effort, I'd leave. Steve, Love will give her time, but I no longer believe in staying "no matter what". If she is my life partner--and I hope she is, we'll both make efforts when the other feels their needs are unmet.

Nope! It'd be an adjustment, but I can do well on my own.
