you know Dinah, I think it's a great skill that you have, if you can accept people for what they are and not push for more. I always get into trouble wanting more and being mad at them for not giving more (usually leads to withdrawing), or else pushing for more (usually leads to conflict).
In fact I think I had one therapist tell me I should learn to do what you do-- accept them for what they give, enjoy it, and try to fill the missing needs with other people. She was a lot less idealistic than the typical therapist.
