I bet if you asked her, she wouldn't consider herself high maintenance either.
I'm glad she's moving out, she sounds atrocious.
I have to remind myself of this all the time too -
people suck, not just men or women.
And I agree, Gilda - the movement was so that we could do what we want, just like the guys. (Although I imagine there is still a lot of stereotype to overcome should a man wish to be a house husband.) She's not exercising free will so much as freely passed laziness.
