Okay, white noise might've been a bit of an extreme response in this case but what I was trying to get at was as much as she'd love to keep both reality's in existence the decision came down to an 'us or them' mentality in which the 'us' win every time.
I think it all comes back to the weight of the world issue with Buffy. Failure for her means something she couldn't defeat (The one syndrome) the fact that there was no mention of the slayer army or her efforts to quell the stem of evil hit her and hit her hard. In a sense Buffy sees Fray as part of that failure. Fray represents the fruit of Buffy’s effort in the present
It’s like doing the best performance of your life and only getting sarcastic applause in return. In saying that Buffy isn't heartless she acknowledges that Fray’s future world is at stake unfortunately the present means more to her.
