I'll probably have to slap you around a little first. *I* ignored all the symptoms and red flags. *I* went to therapy, sent him to therapy, and took us both to therapy AND workshops, too. *I* read a zillion books and articles.

I second NOP's question: what about your friends? Does she like them? Do they like her? And her friends, too?
