I forgot to finish my thought on this. So when she said this, it clicked in my head that it doesn't need to be a quick fix, that she is in it for the long haul, and I can actually take the time needed to make the fixes that are needed to make it a long lasting healthy relationship..

From day 1 of my sitch you can see that I am a very inpatient person, but I feel like I'm in a good spot right now, one that if remained stagnant for awhile I would be ok with where we are, and can take the time I need without worrying about what she is doing, and of course it helps that I believe she isn't going anywhere.
