Thinking back, it's more like Rose is the Tenth Doctor's blankie - the one who provides him with a new family, for instance. The Ninth Doctor's terribly damaged, but I wouldn't have thought Rose was the analgesic he needed... I wonder if you can read it as the Doctor gradually opening up, only to have his new relationship - the only one he has in the universe, basically - ripped away again?
