the fuck? You are in a relationship with her so if she's still having issues with it then be there for her support wise. You don't have to feel like it's a big deal but it's a big deal to her still and you can't control how she feels about her father that passed away.

I can understand if maybe you didn't remember but if you totally knew that she is still having a hard time with it then just be there for her.

Well I don't know the nature of your relationship but if it is still an issue for her (and the loss of a parent is hardly a trivial issue) it's fairly natural to expect emotional support from a (boy)friend. It's also understandable if you are getting tired of emotional head-fucks after two years. I guess I'm saying you're both right or no-one's right or relationships shouldn't be a contest in the first place. Enjoy :jailed:

I'm not saying she shouldn't be sad or whatever, but I think it's irrational to take it out on you with accusations and guilt trips. Be there if she actually needs you, but don't fall victim to attention seeking and don't let her make you feel like a dick for posting on the internet.

The more you speak, Slappy, the more worried I get that you didn't take from my words what I meant for you to take, haha.

Why are you even in a relationship with her? Are you just with her for the sex? I mean really?

Well it's certainly 'normal' to avoid something challenging in favour of trivial diversions as long as it doesn't cross over into pathology.

Wow, I love this place! You guys are the best!

I think DJ said it best.

Is it really so much to ask that you contact your girlfriend before 6pm? Good lord, get your priorities straight. She should dump your ass.

Honestly, if it was my boyfriend I would be far more caring than I even need to be. That's just me though. It's so much easier emotionally being single.

slappyjenkins 05-19-2013 09:24 PM

Right Vanilla! See! SHE should be more caring to ME. That is what you are saying right?

*hoping!!

(jokingly)

Then why not talk to her about your feelings? It's not like you're going to lose your "man card" or anything. Besides, there's nothing wrong with talking about stuff. She probably wanted to talk to you about things she's struggling with today, too. Moping around by yourself doesn't solve anything.
