Frank, she has acknowledged and has shown appreciation from time to time. I sense, however, that you want her to wake up one day and feel that she needs you, and that she needs to be with you. But if this ever happens - and I bet it will (eventually) - you still won't be satisfied nor convinced, because you'd know that came back out of need, and not love.
You do know that you don't need her, don't you? Do you really want a woman to be with you out of pure need? Would that give you security or instability?
Besides, you've been down this road before. Why don't you try something different this time Frank?
