Things haven't exactly worked out the way I wanted.
Um... haven't heard the fat lady farting yet...

BS on the behavior. She's twisting this around to guilt you for her decisions. This is why she wanted to delay and have "a peaceful holiday" before. It's called blowing smoke up your a$$.

Yeah, right... talk to my lawyer.

Over your dead body! If I'm mistaken you can put in legal papers to prevent her from doing this. Your excuse: "You're afraid she won't come back"... i.e. if she does this she faces charges of kidnapping. Look this up. Speak to your L.

BULLSHIRT!! The OM has always been there... he never left her thoughts. If I'm not mistaken, isn't this around the same "mating season" when she went over there the last time?

Probably what she was going for all along.

Words are usually empty, and I'm not belittling the anguish you feel, but pull yourself together. You can handle it.
