I had a relationship with a girl who was like this in some ways. It was an emotionally abusive one.
My thoughts?
She needs to get out. It's abuse.
I wouldn't be surprised if either a) you have left out a bunch of other details (no matter how small) or b) she hasn't told you about a bunch of other things (no matter how small).
These kinds of relationships corner people away from friends and family and even oneself until the abuser gets his or her way: complete emotional dominion.
They can do this bit by bit over time.
