I'm a little worried about how my relationship with Natalie is going. If someone would have asked me about it yesterday I would've said everything was going great

dude, as someone 4.5 years into a relationship (... maybe?) with someone I'm completely in love with who looks at this situation and says "OMG I was /so/ her back when we started out.." let me just offer you this piece of advice:
DON'T MAKE MY MISTAKES. For the love of god and all that's holy... you will regret it if you get to the point I'm at currently.
When my relationship started, my boyfriend was the most wonderful, awesome person in the world, and I took it for granted. Just like Daniel, he sometimes forgot to tell me things, or didn't call, or didn't give me as much attention as I wanted because he was too absorbed in the other parts of his life, and I completely over-reacted and was a selfish little bitch to him about it for /way/ too long. At the time I took it as meaning that he didn't really care, but in retrospect I realize that I was the luckiest girl in the world to have someone who cared about me as much as he did.. he loved me and did everything he could to show me, but he DID have other obligations to deal with as well.
Now fast forward to the present, where I have finally learned to be patient and accepting of him and treasure every single smile, kind word or gesture he gives me.. unfortunately, though I have grown as a person since the begining of our relationship, the damage inflicted by my selfishness early on may be too great for us..
Just keep in mind that if you keep on picking at the same wounds, then you'll end up with permanent scars.. and once those are in place they will never completely heal again..
Daniel loves you, don't assume that that's going to last forever if you don't take some action now to preserve it.
I would give up everything in this entire world to be in your position right now.. and this time I'd do it RIGHT.
