Steve85, all your points are well taken. She did emphasize to me on a number of occasions that I didn't need to leave and that she had no intention of kicking me out. If there had not been an OM I would have stayed. The tension, the wondering where the heck she was at times, was getting difficult to live with. But you're right, I'm not good at this, I never thought I'd be dealing with this ever, and I've probably been making a lot of mistakes.
