Seems to me like your OP was about your needs, not him. Feeling love, and reliance. . .yes, he's probably not going to be able to meet them all but something about him, or the relationship, seems to help those feelings come up? So you can deal with them? As an "adult"?

That's in your signature line, so I know you know it cognitively/adultly, too.
