Your private key being stolen isn't really that big of a deal. If you have a very strong passphrase, possessing your private key gives an attacker almost no leverage. With a strong passphrase, the average attacker isn't going to be able to break your key on modern hardware and anyone who could break it probably doesn't need your private key to decrypt your messages anyway.
