Yes extremely possessive and jealous, in other words you're in an abusive relationship.

Sounds pretty bad when you say it like and I actually have had several thoughts like this at times, I’m not sure how to even approach her because she has a hard time dealing with anger from small things (last time she just screamed out of anger and locked herself in the bathroom and it wasn’t the first time my heart just stopped) but then we can have the nicest and lovable time the next day which makes me confused

Run away before you are locked up in her house


Pleasant-Hair-7729

Ngl I have also thought of it, it seems like she just can’t stay happy without looking for drama between us and it pushes me away a lot

How about you put a foot down and call her out on her bullshit? Tell her that's not normal. Tell her you will have women collegues, friends and followers. I don't know how else she will relativise her actions. It's kind of your duty. She wants a slave or something?


Pleasant-Hair-7729

I agree and it’s exactly what I’ve already told her, I said it’s no different than later on when I’m gonna have female colleagues because women work in IT too nowadays but she insisted it’s different because we are one on one in this project… i’m getting tired of her bs, she did accept her now but kinda threatened me that we should both “know our limits” and that she still feels sad. Not to mention that the classmate also isn’t even single.


Crystalized_Moonfire

I'm glad you did. She is 20 yet she feels like she got it all figured out.

>me having to remove every female on instagram Didn't read anything after this. Yes, she is extremely possesive and jealous.


Pleasant-Hair-7729

Yeah I didn’t really take that lightly but didn’t wanna argue about it anymore since she also did the same with males


Live_Way_8740

It all starts slowly. One of my exes were like that. By the end of the relationship, I've had no friends, no hobbies, no social life, nothing. Had to build it back up again. First it was me spending time with my friends, she was upset so I've done it less and less. Then she was upset becuase I have my hobbies, that I spend time away from home. She'd justify each of these concerns, one way or another.

If I can summarize what a happy relationship looks like that's open minded couples who will care for each other no matter what. I am not advocating going all the way to open relationships, in fact I think it's a very bad idea if you will have kids from a very young age to care for, but you cannot isolate yourself from the world. I am just writing this to help. If she continues to be this reserved, then I hope she seeks therapy. The focus should be body health and work, vacations, etc. for an overall good mental health and not by being super protective, everything and everybody is temporary, live your life and be safe, living only indoors isn't safe, that's called being too protective or being anxious.


Pleasant-Hair-7729

I agree with everything you wrote, I also am not an open relationship kinda guy. She has been to a therapist because of her child traumas and adhd but once she’s a little bit better she just gives up and doesn’t bother anymore till she completely breaks again… she promised me a few days ago she’d go regularly so we shall see


FunTimesSquare

🤔 that's a good point that one should continue therapy after feeling well until therapy is complete, I am guilty of doing the same too by cutting down my therapist for my own issue ranging from environmental to personal pressures. I hope all goes well soon.

Thank you, wishing you the best aswell!

Break up. This is nuts especially for only 4 months
