So i never do develop a secure attachment based on years worth of separate interactions that i should be able to combine to form a lasting connected relationship. ...
Wow, so well put...hmmm

What does a "secure attachment" looks like? Perhaps just being and going there. Maybe this is it!

What is a "lasting and connecting relationship"? Maybe this also is it. Nothing more, nothing less.

Feelings come and go, connection/commitment, for me, to a time and place with a certain individual who helps you may be all that it is. Ummm, sorry I gave it my best shot.

I am DD so I have these unrelated feelings happening all the time (or so it appears). But...the bigger picture for me is, the commitment of 8 or so years of therapy with the same person week after week, and in the beginning sometimes 2 X's a week for 2.5 hour sessions! That is a lasting and connecting relationship with a feeling of secure and sometimes not attachment/relationship.

Now, I can be on holiday for a month and feel secure that relationship is what I will go back to and will be there, waiting, like always. Maybe, in the first 7 years I could not have stated this sense of security but with all the hard work of the previous years I can (at least today *smile*)

Hope you get more likable answers.
