I was just talking to a friend about this the other day. She was in a completely toxic relationship for years and now she's in a healthy one. I asked her if she felt "as in love" with the new guy as the one before.
As we talked it out we realized that the "highs" of a toxic relationships will never be reached in a healthy one. But that the bad times are never as low as they were before.
I don't know if this helps you but it helped me frame the idea that I'll never love someone the way I loved my ex. Which is a good thing because that was no way to live.
We are told to watch their actions and I think this guy is actively showing you just how much he does care about.
