>>35307685Anyone with a braincell can see through backhanded comments like that. It's arguably worse than being straightforward because it just makes you look like a manipulative asshole if you phrase it like that.
On the flipside, if she reads the criticism and still decides to do what she wants, you have to suck it up or realize that she isn't for you anymore. Or don't put her on a pedestal, and just treat her like an entertainer instead of your surrogate girlfriend/daughter/whatever.
