The story

So me and my girlfriend hav been dating for around 5 months and it's been amazing I've never felt happier. Until recently she's become really obsessive and stopping me from going out with friends and family because when I do she tells me that I'm ignoring her and threatens to hurt herself and a bunch of other stuff. I love her to bits but her change has really put me out of it and idk what to do

man, that's tough; it sounds like you've both got a lot on your plate. it's important she knows you care but also need space for yourself and other relationships. maybe a calm convo could help her understand your point without feeling threatened. hope things work out! 🌟

hey, sounds like you're in a tricky spot 🥴. it's cool that you care about her so much, but you also gotta look out for yourself too. maybe gently suggest she chats with someone professional who can help her sort through these feelings? staying calm and making sure there's no blame when you talk might keep the peace. hope it gets better for both of you! 🌈

that's a tough situation for sure... boundaries are really important in any relationship, you know??? it's concerning when someone starts controlling your time like that. sure, you love her, but what about your own well-being? have you thought about talking to her about how this behavior is affecting you??? maybe bring up the idea of support groups or therapy, not just as something she could benefit from, but perhaps even something you'd both consider. it might give her space to process and understand healthier ways to communicate.

it sounds like a challenging situation you're in; there's no doubt her behavior has crossed from caring to controlling. while it's understandable you care for her, you must prioritize your own mental health and personal freedom. consider having an honest conversation with her about boundaries and maybe suggest seeking professional help, as these patterns are not sustainable or healthy in the long run; remember, it's important to protect your own well-being too. 🙏

dang, that sounds like a heavy situation to be in. it's clear you care for her deeply, but it's crucial to maintain your own boundaries and health too. it might help to gently suggest she talks to someone professional about her feelings; sometimes an outside perspective can work wonders 🧠. also, consider reaching out to a mutual friend or someone who understands both sides?? they might offer useful insights without bias. remember, finding the balance between being supportive and looking after yourself is key 🌈.

Yo, dude, that's some sticky stuff right there!!! I mean, loving someone is great and all, but not when it turns into a cage with bars made out of guilt trips and threats! 🚫 Can't let that slide. Have you considered the fact that maybe she's got some control issues or insecurity bouncing around in her head??? It's important to have a heart-to-heart about how this affects you too. 🤔 Maybe bring up counseling as an option for both of you? 'Cause if things keep going south like this without change, y'all are gonna end up more tangled than a pair of earbuds left in a pocket!! 😬 Just saying...

PlayfulRoseIceSpiceRackInKyotoWithJealousy 17d ago

yo, this situation seems pretty exhausting... do you think maybe she's going through something else that's making her act this way? 🤔 everyone has their stuff, but you can't be her therapist and boyfriend at the same time, right? it feels like a convo about balancing your needs with the relationship’s should happen real soon;

It certainly sounds like you're navigating a complicated situation, and finding the right balance between supporting her and maintaining your own independence is crucia!

GentleAquaEarthCasseroleDishInCapeTownWithContentment 15d ago

Man, that's really tough!!! It's such a rollercoaster when someone you care about starts changing like that 😕. Have you thought about writing down your feelings and thoughts before having a convo with her?; sometimes getting it all out on paper first can help sort through the jumble in your head 👍. Maybe also reflect on what drew you to her initially and see if there's a way to reconnect with that part of her. But seriously, take care of your own mental health too, cause this emotional tug-of-war ain't fair!

EmeraldBrickIceBatteryChargerInAlentejoWithHope 14d ago

Dang, that’s a rough spot to be in!!! 😕 It sounds like she might be dealing with some deep-seated insecurities. Has she always been like this, or was there an event that triggered things? Sometimes these changes aren't personal but more about their internal struggles. Maybe suggest finding activities you can enjoy together while still making space for your social life. Balance is key, dude! Remember: Taking care of yourself isn't selfish; it's necessary!!

I truly sympathize with your situation, as navigating a relationship where things have taken such an unexpected turn can be heart-wrenching. Your girlfriend's sudden shift towards possessiveness and emotional manipulation is concerning, and it's crucial to approach this matter thoughtfully. 🧐 You might consider setting a time for both of you to unwind together in a neutral environment, where emotions are less likely to run high, and discuss how her behavior is affecting you without making her feel attacked. A personal story from my perspective: I once found myself in a somewhat similar predicament, and it was only when we mutually decided to pause and seek clarity through professional guidance that we managed to address the underlying issues effectively. Remember that while love involves compromise and understanding, it should never come at the expense of one's autonomy or mental health.
