And a huge load of donkey bollox to them. Funny how people find out who their true friends are.
Did you tell them of your faith in what you are doing? Showing them the positive Orich, the confident Orich?

In fact, it really means, and shows, you love her enough to let her deal with this. She will not see it that way, and will throw this back at you and make it your fault/unreasonableness, etc. Be prepared for that and realize she is just being like a rebellious teenager who isn't getting her way.
Noted for my immediate use. Orich - wise words for we Protectors. This message is repeated by the "old-timers" here over and over if the sitch requires it. Gee-whiz this is hard. I know you just want to dive right in - show her what a wonderful guy you really are. I'd do it too. Painful not to do it - ow pain.
