ABUSIVE Relationship between X&G?

SPOILERS...

It seems that Gabrielle walks on eggshells when she's around the
Warrior Princess. Actually, Xena's my favorite but she's quickly
falling out of favor. I put up with Xena's pushiness in Hooves &
Harlots, watched her nearly knock Gabrielle down in The Price (I
swore she was going to b*tch slap the bard), and literally drag the
soft-bodied bard through brambles, over rocks, and through fire. (And
Xena KNEW what she was doing) In a lot of episodes, Xena seems to be
suppressing anger towards Gabrielle. In fact, in nearly every episode
whenever Gabrielle makes a suggestion, it has to "be approved" by the
Council of One.

Hello, Warrior Witch, PMS is a monthly event, not a weekly one.
WAKEUP blond-bard, you are the property of Xena. YOU follow me,
obey my every command, and stroke my ego. Even though I can't control
my anger, count it a PRIVILEGE to serve me. <Yeah right, monster!>

I personally can't wait for the up-coming episode featuring
"The Other Woman." I wonder how Xena will respond to this new rival,
esp. if this other woman is more "gentle..." Unless the Warrior Witch
kills them both...

P.S. I realize Gabrielle irritates some people because of her naivete
and motor mouth, but she grew up in a small town so NATURALLY she has
much to talk about.
