He has learned to live for himself, to be his own person.
germaine_pet (I think?) once said that she doesn't think B/A works post NFA because Angel and Buffy are both such alphas--back in BtVS S1-3 Angel was content to exist in Buffy's shadow, but he wouldn't later on. And while I think some B/A action is possible post-NFA (though not necessarily HEA), I do tend to agree that what Angel needs from Buffy really changes over the course of AtS. She was once his whole reason for fighting. Later, she's just the reason he started it.
Anyway, I'm glad what I was trying to say with how they fulfill each other or not came through, and I'm glad you liked it.
