Here is what a real-life friend told me today:

Yes, it takes a LONG time to get over that fear that the other shoe is sure to drop and it's just a matter of when. [Her NG] and I have been together seriously for almost 5 years and I still fight that sudden rush of fear. I try to just take a deep breath and remind myself that I can't predict or control the future and I deserve to just enjoy the Now. I'm so glad for you! Where are you going?

Mozz, on good days it just puzzles me. They've been apart a long time now and he takes clear pleasure in calling me Girlfriend. It's in my moments of panic that it bothers me.
