And yes, there were times when I thought I could not live without her help.
Just recently, I asked her how I am supposed to feel about her, because I could not take the insanity anymore. In turn, she gently asked me how I felt about her. I was scared to death to tell her, but something came over me and I risked it all-- told her not only was I attached to her, but that I loved her on some level. I thought for sure she would freak out, stop the hugs, or even terminate. Instead, she said she loved me back and was proud that I had the courage to tell her that. With that, my ability to deal with the attachment to her has become much more tolerable (amongst other things).
The moral of my story here is sometimes bringing up super scary, tough subjects have a great outcome. I hope you consider giving it a shot!

Great post! I, too, am quite attached to my T, and I hate it. I wish she would have thought I was brave for telling her things.... but, I've told her a few times I love her, and a few times she said "I love you too." She's now flat out said she won't say that anymore, because it's not genuine. Ouch.
