Okay, well the corny answer is that I love her and always have from the moment I saw her. Sure we had our differences, but we balanced each other out very well. It really wasn't until we had kids that we started neglecting each other.
We weren't really co-dependent on each other. We each had our own thing going on and we had different careers. It's just that the time we had alone we wanted to spend it with each other.
She balances me out. I'm the outgoing one, she's the homebody. She's kept my head straight and I've let her be a little more adventurous.
I still love her as friend and partner. Sometimes I feel like I'm trying to save her from herself and I'm shedding that perception. It is her choice to do what she wants and I respect that.
Am I afraid to be alone. Nope. I know that if we don't make it, when the time is right I'm going to find another individual to fall in love with. But right now, she's the one I am committed to. And she is the one I wanted to grow old with.
I'm not sure if that's the answer you're looking for, but it's the best one I've got.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
