    People don't remember what you do or what you say as much as how you "made them feel" ... er... something like that was attributed to Maya Angelou....

    remembering this idea is how you keep both clients and girlfriends ..... if you make somebody feel good, everything you do or say seems to reinforce that in their minds eye, whereas if you (even accidently) made somebody feel bad, everything you do or say somehow seems to reinforce that in their minds eye...

    so, in a way, I wish you luck, but trying to convince her of anything through "logic" once she's felt a certain way will never work... whereas listening to her and trying to have a certain kind of empathy, not just promising to change, can possibly have an effect...

    but of course, if you're both basically wrong for each other, then maybe breaking up is good for both of you!

    good luck either way....
