Good advice but ...
As unfortunate as the LW's passivity was, I understand it. Women have a tendency to want to play nice, to not know how to properly assess a dangerous situation and act accordingly.
Although I would hope that I would not spend 2 hours with a nut like this, I've been sucked into situations that were uncomfortable and didn't take the necessary steps to get out.
I will say that I would not have tolerated this behavior in front of my kids. To me, that's the most puzzling part of this letter. My mother bear impulses really kick in if my kids are involved and I will do aggressive things I wouldn't do otherwise.
But Cary is right -- LW needs training to get over this before she gets in real trouble.
