Did you imagine a realistic or unrealistic worst case in these situations?
I didn't assign probabilities and these words are too vague to decide between. Make your decison:
1) The worst thing I did imagine was that she didn't actually love me (sufficiently to keep our relationship). In my emotional state that was hard enough to wrap my mind around to. Once I did I could compare the reality of her loving me and her not loving me and decide which was real. And in either case I could act accordingly. It was the second.
2) I imagined needing to apply for social insurance. Losing savings and reducing life standards. I decided that even if that happend I could live with it. I didn't need to.
