I don't think all of those feelings are strange at all and you should be proud of yourself for identifying them all.
And, I know what you mean about your husband thinking you're "over it". One day a few months after I terminated with my first therapist, I was crying about missing her and confided such in my husband and he said, "well at least you're not still thinking about her every day." Um, no, it was more like every hour! And, in general, my husband is a great guy, but I don't think I would have understood the feelings unless I had been through them myself. They are so intense.
Could the sharing feeling be unsettling because you feel like you're already opening yourself back up to her?
And, I'm right there with you hoping that it causes her a bit of discomfort too. (said with a little sense of defiance of always have been the "good girl")
I loved your line about it being a lot for a little 4x5 card to live up to....but it's a lot more than that...it's a part of yourself and that's a big gift to give anyone.
