And remember, too, there's a lot of other stuff going on. There was the Batsh*t-Crazy-A-Thon in which she declared that SHE had decided that henceforth the "only" reason for going to see Fab MC#2 was to reconcile (just after getting dumped by Signore) but that SHE would under no circumstances discuss the A at any point -- "that is a closed subject!" -- and that SHE would under no circumstances allow me access to her e-mail or cell phone -- "I am not a child! That is a completely disrespectful and unacceptable suggestion!" -- and that we would start this process "RIGHT HERE AND NOW OR NEVER!!"..... All because SHE decided that SHE was the one in charge.
And when I expressed some hesitation, SHE declared "That's It Then! You obviously have no interest! Your suspicion of me speaks volumes, and I won't stand for it!"
And that, of course, led to her Great European Getaway and her declaration of intent to go down on the first gent she met.
So it's not as if this one thing exists in isolation.
