Allow me to provide some brief history about my mate. She is an only child from a very sheltered upbringing. Her parents lost a one-year old son a year prior to her birth, then were advised to abort her due to complications. She was born absolutely healthy and would be forever showered with profound love and seen as an angel by her immensely protective/smothering parents.
To this day (she's 28) she is 100% dependent upon her parents for financial AND emotional support. Subsequently, I feel that she's not been enabled to fully develop and frequently I see her as a spoiled 10-yr. old brat in a woman's body.
It is apparent that her emotional needs are met via the parents, and so she is incredibly independent in our relationship. I tend to be a romantic sentimentalist and am very expressive of my life (though not clingy or co-dependent). I frequently profess my love for her, send cards, etc. While she has professed hers for me, the expression is not fully reciprocal.
