Your exteme independence is on one end of the spectrum and extreme dependency is on the other. Often those of us who live mostly on one end will dramatically land on the other, given the right person and circumstances. Therapy can open up longings that have been sqelched for a very long time. And when your resources give out, and inevitably they will, the slide toward being taken care of can be very quick. Especially if you have prefantasy that predisposes this.
Maturity is working towards the middle of the spectrum. Allowing interdependency without sufficating or being sufficated. It is very painful to find this middle.
I hope you find someone to work it out with soon.
