Yeah actually it does. That's why I think she's a bit too emotionally involved. It seemed as if she was genuinely hurt by that email.

She has said that she is trying to teach me what a "normal" relationship is like, with boundaries, mutual respect, etc.

Maybe I need to ask what she's trying to accomplish because at this point, I'm confused!
