Quote: You asked how she will change from being this way. Well, I can't answer that, but I can say that what you've been doing hasn't worked so maybe it's time to change something in you instead of trying to change something in her.
Quote: Stand strong
This says it all. I need to stop complying with her demands that I change. I have been compliant since I met her, and this has never worked. I think you are absolutely right that I need to back off. She needs to grow, and she's doing all she can right now to avoid doing so. I will back off completely (even though I feel like I have for the most part already), and even initiate a physical separation as soon as financially possible. She claims to hate her dependance - but does nothing about it. Nothing I can really do about that, now, is there? I don't force this on her, it's her choice.
