What you just described is how I have been feeling when i say I am haunted by good memories. I too feel that my love for her is as strong as the day i meet her and later when i married her, but that is the opposite of detaching. I think though it is where my source of strength is coming from, but I get confused about weather or not we should be thinking of them in that way or not.
My friends either try to protect me by bashing her or they too project their own fears on to us. I notice that most of them just do not want to talk about it anymore because it makes them wonder about their own lives.
I am glad he confirmed what you already know and that is that no matter what you are going to be just fine. That gives you the strength and freedom to focus on what he needs you to be for a while.
