With my best friend she has figured out when I am feeling insecure about us. I don't know what I say but she can read between the lines. When this happens she will give me a hug and say something like I can't imagine my life without you..so you can't fo anywhere in me.
Hubby I come out and ask questions like wouldn't your life be so much easier without me and all my issues....or any yeah I know I suck as a wife right now. He reassures his life would be more complicated and miserable without me. He never wants to live without me. I think it helps that his mother suffers abandonment issues as well and depression. So he grew up with similar issues

I have that fear of retirement too! I will think about bringing this up, but I know he definitely wants me to actually stop asking for reassurance because it reinforces that my worst case scenario is an option or something like that...
