It would be so much healthier for him to get over this dependence and grow as a person than it would for him to be trapped once again in a relationship with a person who is so wrong for him.</>
We've had some interesting conversations about this on BoB, almost always resulting in the proclamation "I'm a Spike fan not a Spuffy fan." I support Spuffy because Spike wants it so badly. The minute he wavers though, I wouldn't be happier.
They need an equal partnership for it to work, and I don't know that Buffy as she has been drawn by ME is capable of giving him that. In one BoB thread we were discussing Herself's Lovingkindness (the ending) and whether this was a Buffy who had changed. I say vehemently NO, though many Spuffy fans disagreed. That was the Buffy that you speak of in your post.
On the other hand, AllAboutSpike is an essential service :) Please don't get bored of fanfic before I do :)
