I’m a 36-year-old man seeking advice about my troubled relationship with a 36-year-old woman.

**Content Warning: NSFW tag relates to sensitive topics, not sexuality.** I'm at a loss for what to do. The woman I cherish more than anything, whom I've known for 14 years, has expressed her fear that I might physically harm her. I can't understand why she feels this way; I’ve never harmed her or anyone else, and I hardly ever raise my voice. She means everything to me, and we’ve shared countless beautiful moments together. While she does have a history of experiencing emotional and physical pain, I was never the cause of it. My love for her has remained constant over the years, and I still feel the same rush of affection I did when we first embraced. It's perplexing to think she might believe I would hurt her. She asked me how I would react if she were to hurt me. I told her I would run away or let it happen, but I could never hurt her—I meant that sincerely. Then she posed a more extreme scenario: what if she was trying to kill me? I responded honestly, saying that if she were truly trying to do that, then I would just accept it, because my love for her is so profound that I wouldn't want to live without her. I realize that might have been a drastic thing to say in the heat of the moment, but my intention was to emphasize that I would never hurt her. She has a therapist and a doctor who have confirmed that she's in good health—healthier than many, in fact. So now I’m starting to wonder if I’m answering my own questions. Does she want to leave me? Why bring this up? She knows me well enough to understand that these worries don’t make sense. We’ve even discussed breaking up before, and I assured her that if she truly believed she’d find more happiness apart from me, I would let her go. She knows she doesn't need to voice such strange concerns. Perhaps she’s hoping I’ll end things? I’m really unsure of what to do. (Interestingly, it seems Reddit AI thinks this relationship is already finished, as I'm receiving a warning that this is about a "past relationship.")
