I have had this, for a while. I thought things were working out. For me, doing something to please somebody makes a lot of difference, but I think it is mostly about somebody being there, the knowledge (or assumption) that somebody willfully chose to spend time with you, make important life decisions together etc.
I think in the end, it is all a matter of affirmation.
I am struggling to keep a social life going. It gave me peace of mind to know there was some constant in my life, a person whom I deeply loved for that matter. It was a great relief to not have to go through the anxiety to pick up the phone or send a message to somebody who might decline an invitation which might set off a cycle of ruminations.
