it's how being in an abusive relationship is. Sure you see the signs that they aren't treating you right, but you convince yourself that it's fine, things are good, just ignore that, that isn't wrong,...The fact that the MC knew she paid for a vacation for 2 she wasn't allowed to go on and still thought if she paid she would be loved by this girl was too sad. I mean c'mon! You should have guessed boyfriend or girlfriend at that point...
