exterior validation is something that she "craves,"
Yes and that's how they end up in an A. Something is broken inside them, and they think validation comes from outside. They decide the kind you're giving them isn't the kind they need, or you're not giving them enough of it. So they try to find it elsewhere.
Don't let that "elsewhere" be you. It's tempting in the early stages. But you're just kicking the can down the road.
She needs to heal from that mindset and then decide that you are the person she wants to spend her life with. Not a bucket full of free validation. That's OM crap. You're better than that.
