Quote:
There is a time and a place to demand respect from her, but you haven't shown her that you are worth the effort yet.

For a time, at least a short time, you show her what she is potentially giving up (the good Choc), and her intact family.

After that, you confront with the choices. Doing it before you have established that you are the best and the right choice, will almost ensure that she makes the wrong decision.
