OP,  the potentially really good news here is that this woman is SO not needy.

Therefore, when she gets affection and love and support, it goes into the love accumulation bank as assets that keep adding up and increasing.

Needy people on the other hand, you can make deposit after deposit of love and support and the most you get is to 0 in bank. The person is always in such emotional debt. This becomes exhausting for a partner who can't ever accumulate any real store of affection in the relationship. Any good relationship needs reserves of affection to help through the hard times, during emergencies and so on. 

 

 

That bank value does have a depreciation effect over time.

Yes! ... and if you don't officially sign up or the plan, you won't accumulate all the credits!

 I had asked her very early on if she was ok with a casual arrangement where we would see each other but also have the ability to date others if we wished. 

Unfortunately halfhearted situationships like this end up in wholehearted confusion and hurt.

Have the courage to date who you find attractive, not tell someone you plan on shopping around while sleeping with them. That's not "brutally honest", it's just brutal.

Also don't fall in the trap of now that someone else wants her, you suddenly want her, where before you treated her like merely "meh".
