Doc:
I’m the nice guy, and I managed to score an amazing girlfriend. Just a few quick notes about me: I don’t watch porn, I don’t enjoy it. I’m about as monogamous as you can get, and when I’m in a relationship, thats who I focus on. To put it in perspective, I’m about as much of a chick as you can get from a guy on relationships.
Anyways, I’ve been with this girl for a year and a few months. We’re both super geeky together, and it is fantastic. About 95% of the time.
The question is, how much maintenance is too much maintenance?
Basically when it’s good, it’s amazing. We have everything in common, we share the same interests, we can do everything together, and sex is super fun.
However every other week she goes through a mood swing. It is irregular, and almost anything can trigger it. We could be watching a movie, and if an actress gets naked, there’s a good chance she will sulk about it. This is usually followed by questioning me on whether I find the actress more attractive than her.
Everything we do is like walking through a mine field. If It looks like I’m checking someone out, she is miserable about it. A girl adds me to facebook, or messages me on my wall, I hear about it.
So I ask this after a big fight where she has reached over a year back to accuse me of shit, and to complain I’m hiding stuff from her. From over a year ago. What the hell do I do? Keeping in mind she admits to having been diagnosed with and suffering from clinical depression.
I know the obvious answer, which is to break up. Is there a better answer than just “find someone less complicated”?
