"I will WORK to keep you" is outstanding! Here, the real interest and good intentions. Good for you for snatching such a great specimen!
On the former friend - when you wanted to punch her in the face, you wanted to pay back for the words that offended you. The desire to pay back is normal and understandable, but you cannot pay back for what she said with a punch in the face. One pays back with retorts that are effective.
An effective retort for your situation would have been:
"You would be a nice person if you lost all your mean and unkind traits."
There are alternative retorts that could have been effective, too - this is just one idea.
