[She'd nearly forgotten he was there, which was saying something. But now was not the time to dwell on that.]

He's right.

It's very possible that the two of you are just not meant for one another. Or if your ... current attitude toward her is any indication, I can't honestly blame her for leaving.

[At that, she just shrugs.]

You can't force someone to love you, or stay with you if they don't want to. Not only that, but I sincerely doubt that calling her names, and throwing insults around when they're not here is going to accomplish anything in the long run.

But approaching her civilly might, so that's your best bet.
