But wouldn't fighting for her be the opposite of acting like I've moved on
I think I'm starting to get this. . .
No. It is the balance between making sure she knows you want her, but that she has to prove herself to YOU.
It is like a kid throwing a tantrum in a store over not buying him candy. You don't disown him, when he does this. He knows you love him, but he trys to control you with the tantrum. You firmly, but lovingly say no, and walk away. What happens? He'll cry even harder until he knows he isn't going to get what he thinks he wants. Than what happens? He comes running after you. Your firm but calm action put you back in control.
Why does this work and why is it important?
