Idk if its a question of maturity, or if you just haven't suffered enough losses, but you seem to be in the "won't know what you have until its gone" camp.
When I was younger, my mom always said, never make a guy feel too safe. Once they catch on that you're theirs no matter what, that's when they become complacent and lose their appreciation for you.
It happened to me regardless of her words, and sadly I was devoted to the wrong man. My ex was so convinced I would never leave he actually beat the crap out of me, thinking I'd still stick by him.
Pfft.
Anyway, I see how your gf's devotion has brought about this response in you as well. You have no reason to question her devotion, no fear of the relationship sinking due to her wanting something or someone else, you've gotten way too comfy because you know she wont leave you.
Well, there's a down side to this comfy, women know when they're just part of the furniture and we don't like it. Consequences will ensue, sooner or later.
You're not a child anymore, time to get your priorities in order. Either decide to appreciate your gf and what you have, or risk killing it.

Sorry you had abusive partner. But I doubt he beat you up because he knew you weren't leaving. He beat you up because he is abusive jerk. The point is that he was the wrong person not that you were devoted.
When people make formal commitment (marry or engage etc) they are devoted to each other and certainly don't need to worry the other person can leave any time. Playing games and worrying if other person leaves, cannot sustain true committed relationship for too long. Certainly not for life time. When partners know that they are both staying, it doesn't mean they gonna start treating each other like crap. That's of course if people are right for each other
The point isn't not not to become devoted but not to become devoted to wrong people. When if is right, true commitment is the right thing and isn't scary
