Partner Problems

**Professor** · 05-05-2012, 01:23 AM

This post is dedicated to having minor tiffs and moments of exasperation between you and someone you are close with. This thread can be anything from sharing a funny misunderstanding or even just putting your thoughts out there.

I hope people chime in as well...

I'll go first! So there I was with my girlfriend and we had just left from seeing the Avengers movie and she took my phone from me and started to go through my Internet history. As I begged and pleaded she started to poke fun at me and read the entries out loud and laugh. So I begged and pleaded for her to stop and just give my phone back, alas she did not until I snapped and demanded the phone back. After that she told me to take my stuff and go home. I felt awful for snapping and upset at being sent away because I was out working and had not seen her for quite a while.

I only have 3 days now to see her before I'm off working again and won't see her for a full month.

dunno why shes acting hard done by, thats your personal shit, id of backhanded the bitch if id asked her repeatedly and calmly and got no where

She sounds like a jealous control freak and a bitch. And clearly she was doing it to embarrass you or make you look foolish. You don't need that shit.

I don't know, we both feel bad for what the other did and now things seem better than ever, but it's how it goes.

We get angry and then it calms down... I don't feel like its normal and yet I can't say no to her. She's volatile and I love it.

Although I think its an absolutely terrible idea to ask others about relationship advice, ill just give me 2 cents for the sake of the thread.

I agree with the above. She sounds jealous and insecure. Which are not two qualities that go well together. You're not at fault.

I'm sensing that there's a giant red, like flashingly huge, gigantic red flag here.

I have two questions that I think will shed a lot of light on the situation.

1. How often do you guys have fights like this?

2. You can't say no to her... for anything?

I can say no to her and I often do. It's just sometimes her "playfulness" goes to what I feel is too far and only after I finally get her to understand that it's not funny to me does she feel bad about.

The tiffs like that one is always few and far in between that it's rare we really get into fights.

She only becomes possessive of me like that only when I'm about to leave her for a couple months time. So this time was due to me about to head home and work over the summer where I live really far away from her. Here at University, she has no friends at home cause she hates her hometown and everyone here leaves. She said she feels like its unfair that I go home and do nothing but hang out with friends and have a good time.

The point is we usually get along and have the best of times, she just took a joke too far.
