"you can tie your feelings of emotional dependancy, pleasure, etc onto her."
That's some real lousy advice IMHO. You don't need to pin your happiness on someone else. If you do you'll find yourself in this exact same position. Why would you even suggest that he should be emotionally dependent again? That's flat out wrong.
