She thinks that dieting, working out, going to church as well as listening to her when she talks is just too much "in her face" reminding her of how she felt overwhelmed by me when we first started dating.
I'm very confused about this statement. She was overwhelmed in a good way....or not? You were in her face when you were dating?
Before we started dating, she felt overwhelmed by the attention I was giving her. I sent her flowers, gave her poetry, stuff like that. We were also working together, so she felt that I was "always there" in her face. Not a good thing. She's even joked that she "married her stalker," though I was definitely not stalking her. I was just a head over heels romantic.
