Where are you in this? Where are posts about your life, work, daughter? What are you hopes, ambitions, dreams?
Everything is wrapped up in this romance you need with your GF who continually asks for space. Everything is about how you worry about responding to her needs, wishes and desires. You denigrate yourself, saying you're not a man. You plan ahead of how you'll woo her, appease her, approach her.
Walking on eggshells is not healthy. Contorting who you are doesn't work well either. How can love be percentages? In my experience love is built from attraction (based on any of a number of variants) to friendship to trust. And to move forward in a healthy way, it's a two way street.
Where is Rob? Where is the dad, the teacher, the hunk, the lover of puppies? It's great to have a relationship if it works but the constant worrying becomes like an obsession, an itch you can't stop scratching.
It's okay to be content in your skin. Learn who you are, Rob. Heal so you can give your all to a positive mutual blossoming interaction. Learn to be you, embrace what is incredible about you. Pursue who you are rather than trying to rescue, smother, fix someone else.
