- Sounds to me like she has a fear of intimacy, and the more you try to get close
- to her, the worse she is going to get. Most people want their relationships to
- work, but there is no way you can make it work unilaterally. Insist that she
- go with you to counseling. If she refuses, then you had better just leave,
- because if you don't she is going to make your life a living hell. It may seem
- cold to say it, but what she is doing to you is emotional abuse, and as long as
- you make excuses for her and try to accomodate it, the problem will only get
- worse.
