Putting my foot squarely in my mouth, I will recall that before she
went in for surgery, my mother was discussing the mental states of the
wives of my two brothers with me and my sister. I made a rude comment I
think went along the lines of "all women are psycho" or some such,
which my mother took offense at but which my sister completely agreed
with... ;)
I've determined that you can't help the mental state of the woman you
fall for. If she decides to stick around, you just have to deal with it
much like the cat clawing your leg and spitting up hairballs in the
shower stall, or your dog puking on the carpet when she ate something
that disagreed with her. The benefits, emotional and otherwise,
outweigh the costs, so long as she doesn't tend toward vandalizing your
toys or going thru your email... Besides, it scores points if you can
deal with their stuff with ease.
