Don’t forget that this thread is about her (maybe) **leaving** it.

Just to be technical, “projection” isn’t an insult. It is a “tell,” a give-away, a habit or pattern that some people exhibit, which weakens their reasoning and can be readily discerned in their behavior. It’s comparable to a limp: it indicates an underlying functional weakness. If I say, “You’re limping” I am not insulting you.

“Dr. Fraud” on the other hand was an insult.

You’re projecting.

If he has a problem with it he can take it up with me personally.
