So rent a movie (may I suggest "Band of Brothers"), get a bottle of wine and hang out by yourself and grieve a bit. Then keep workin' at it. She'll come around. Trust me... you're becoming an assertive, confident leader and that will look very attractive... it's natural.

Her being "analytical" is just a way of defending her decisions. Don't take in personal.

Just don't give up. There's a different between grieving a loss and giving up. Grief is how a healthy person deals with hurt, Giving Up is the excuse we give ourselves to get over the hurt. Don't give up. And make no mistake... the Creator is invested in your experience. He made you the way you are for a reason.
