YES, yes, yes. Indeed, that is what it is. You are learning to rely only on YOUR inner compass rather than be steered, or NEED to be steered by someone else. That's not to say you both can't be going in the same direction, but rather that you are both going that way because whatever you both want (a happy life with each other) is that way. You're just now getting used to taking your own boat instead of riding with her.

P.S. There's no reason why you can't swing pirate-style over to her boat and pillage every once in awhile, lol...just kidding.
