Love or leave?

I love her....I do. The problem is she has a bad reputation if you know what I mean. I, personally, can deal with the slander and criticism, but can she? I want to be wit her despite what these "off-brand" people say. Thats real. The real problem is; She wonders constantly whether or not it really bothers me. I tell her I don't care what they say cuz I dont. Then i wonder will she leave me cuz: she thinks i am lying, or to try to make things better for me- to reduce the amount of people that talks about me. Which brings me to another point-These fallacious people really talk about just her, and if they are not doing that...then some female is trying to get at me infront of her. She knows I show no interest in noone but her, but will this cause a problem for her- cuz i got stalkers, admirers, and crazy ones that will fight her cuz they want me.(NO KIDDING) I wont let it happen. So if we werent to gether we could benefit, but we love each other and that works well also. So LOVE OR LEAVE?
