I haven't read a lot of your sitch but I've been following when I can.
I'm a very blunt, honest person so here goes... I think you're being too nice. I can't believe she wanted the kitchen table. I don't buy the face/hug story either and I'm no cop. It spells abuse to me and I'd be concerned with whom she's gotten invloved with.
I agree with bug...I think she'd be willing to put the car in her name but not to help you as much as helping herself. You will need to transfer the loan to her also.
I think tough love would work best for you right now. The nicer you are the more she'll walk all over you.
I say all this as a person who wouldn't want someone as nice as you to get hurt. Please keep your guard up...which doesn't mean you can't love her.
