Yeah, I like that. If someone were to say that to me, I wouldn't be upset at all. I'd be like, "Okay, sure, I understand completely." You can't argue with it if that is how someone feels. :)
You can if you're a psycho angry irrational witch.

Ask her why she is so bitter and angry.... and if you don't get a good reason ask her why she won't tell you the truth. This will either make her more angry or open up and you may get to the heart of her attitude. Many people that are angry and bitter are that way because they got hurt and didn't know how to get over it and nobody knew enough nor cared enough to help them through it. Abuse can turn someone nice into someone very bitter and mean but forgiveness can break the bonds that allow demons to torment them making them lash out at others when any perceived hurt may happen.

If she won't confide in you on this... tell her to get counseling and that you are not the person she needs in her life as you are not strong enough to take her abuse... and call it abuse if you think it is valid because IMO a lot of the time it is.

Bingo... she got hurt..

She's a single mom of a baby girl and the father bailed out... he's not even on the birth certificate. She has an extremely cynical view of men because of this... and I think she's taking out all her frustrations on me.

Anyway, I'm going to talk to her the first chance I get and just be honest with her... this last blow up, she said some pretty messed up things that are hard to overlook. And she has to pay.

Anyway, I got the ball rolling. I just sent her a txt message telling her that I won't be spending Thanksgiving with her.

:dBass braces for the ensuing drama:

Well, if you wanted to guarantee drama, bailing on her via text msg was a sure fire way to do it. :p

Haha, I really don't care at this point. Anyway, she's in class until 7:30 and sooner is better than later so oh well. There's never a good time with this chick anyway.

Yeah - there is no good time with someone who has anger issues. You're smart to bail now and I think that MCN's advise on how to do it was the best.

Hopefully not the "I don't want you because we'd have angry babies here's a birdhouse don't talk to me again" advice :D

what in the world are you doing dating someone you have such negative feelings towards?

Typically when you get in a relationship with people like this you don't see it coming -- they are one person when you are first getting to know them and then the real side of them comes out later.

That's sad for her, but she should have dealt with her issues with men before she started dating again. It isn't right to treat a new guy badly because of what someone else did.

...allow me to vent :D

I have been dating a girl with a bad temper for almost 2 months now and it's driving me insane. I am afraid to even speak around her a lot of the time because I think she's going to blow up on me. This is ridiculous... I shouldn't feel like I am walking on thin ice all the time!

I feel like I am caught up in the cycle of violence... things are fine... then tension builds.. and then she blows up on me.... then she apologizes... and then (like an idiot) I forgive her. This is insanity! Now I need to muster up the courage to get up and walk away... and it's hard to do since it's the holiday season and all hahaha.

And the craziest part is that (honestly :holy:) I have been a saint in this relationship! I have been sweet and understanding and very patient. I guess I am growing up. You'd think that if you treated a girl right she'd reciprocate huh? Well, not this one.... this girl's got issues :p

Kinda reminds me of that Offspring song haha.

Anyway, thanks for letting me vent. Carry on.


I have Self Esteem on my iPod! :thumbsup:

But um, don't let yourself be that way! My honest suggestion and I know people may not agree, but If you are going to break up with her, wait until after Thanksgiving, but before Christmas. It would be hard for her to enjoy TG if you break up with her before, but if you do it way before Christmas, it may not be that bad. If she is not reciprocating this early in the relationship, chances are she isn't going to start. I say pray, pray PRAY! And keep your chin up! ;)
