"I'm your friend. Do you want me to punch you out of this situation?"
"I want more than just friendship. You're only allow to help, when you marry me. Else I just fall and burn. What shall it be?"
I get here stance. She can't leave her family alone, alright. And she might have said those things to shake him up and make clear she can't just run away. Yet for a second there she clearly meant, what she said, and that's not cool. As I remember, he is on friendly terms with her, but not in love, right? Or is she his mail LI? in that case I'm wrong. Else, it's one thing to get rescued and missunderstand that as a "happy ever after" situation, but it's something else, when they even announce to refuse the help, except the other party commits themself to a relationship. That's moral blackmailing.
