Please listen to me...

Look, I told her that it wasn't about her myself. I knew it wasn't about her, but she was heartbroken for the rest of the day because she thought it was. Her two greatest fears are having other people bitch about her, and losing me. She has had people bitch about her in the past, people she trusted, and so she reacts badly to anything remotely like that. So what I said was more of a warning than an accusation. But if you want to hate me for loving her and protecting her, and subsequently lose a friend who dearly wants to help you, then that's your decision.

I've told my side of the story, now it's up to you...
