Let me just
apologize in advance, because I know you're going to hate
this. You can't be her knight in shining armor.
Knights work best in cases of dragons, pestilence, and medieval
witches. Not that great for modern problems. Her boyfriend
may be controlling, but she's a free woman. She's not being
held captive in the evil prince's tower. She's going
to have to decide this one on her own.
The best way
you can be of knightly,
 chivalrous
service to her is to be her friend. (I told you you weren't
going to like this!) Someday it may blossom into romance, but
for the time being,
things are way too complicated for you to step in. What's
going on is between her and her boyfriend.
Just for a
minute, let's say I've got this all wrong. Why not just
steal her away from the evil prince and set up castle somewhere
else?
First,
would you trust that she'd stay true to you after she did that
to her boyfriend? Second, if things don't work out, will she
resent that you stole her away? Third, maybe she needs
some time to be her own person. After all, she's never been
single as an adult.
Remember what
happened to King Arthur, Guenievere, and Lancelot. Not
a happy ending. But I'm sure of one thing - there is someone
out there for you.
