    At first I thought you were a woman. Please don't misunderstand. I try to be there for her. I always offer my help. If you had met her, or witnessed this behavior and knew me, You'd be apologizing to me.
    She refuses to get help. She is most definitely Bi Polar and Depressed, maybe manic depression, I'm not sure, but when someone sits in a room crying and say's "life sucks" and has absolutely no reason too, believe me. There's a problem. I do everything I can, If i was any more supportive, I'd be a bra.

    I don't know Zib what type problems you have with your girlfriend now But Please be patient and give to her chance.Every person has their up's and downs.
    At first understand her situaton first.May be to day she needs your help?
    Please lets be honest Men always think we are smarter then women but Truth is it is not that way?
    Man uses less then 15 brain tissue and way behind women this is medically proved.We" Men" just ignorant and selfish personality that is all.
    I could go a lot but don't like to type in this laptop.
    My advise lets say and be as smart as we can ---try understand person to next to us ,help her out in her hard times get out of from bad situation and sit behind table face to face and saiy that beatuful lady.I am sorry i think our ways are different.
    this will make us more men then we think.
    No offence to anyone just my own opinion and i know i will get soo maney hate messages from you guys but i am ready accept them all.Good luck and let's all be a little smart men which we think we are already

    EDIT: It's not chauvinistic at all. Don't say "here, you're being a bi*ch, have some treats". My typical line is "hey, I got you a present" or "I picked us up some ice cream while I was at the store. I thought we could have some tasty dessert". It's all in the delivery.
    Yeah, but you don't know how many feminists that have yelled at me for saying that chocolate is a great upper for women. And for what it matters, I don't really know what would happen to me if I used the first line on my girlfriend, except that you would probably find my head quite a bit away from my body.

    As for asking "What's the matter?" etc. it's still usually a good strategy, you get your earful quicker, and then it's over with. Otherwise you might get a quite bigger beating later for not paying attention etc.
    Luckily my gf is quite great on this particular point, I can't remember her ever yelling at me. Life's good!

    She would have these little episodes on and off for a while, but the last 6 months has been great. No problems. I thought we were good to go. For a while, I thought she needed Therapy and Medication for sure, of course, she thinks otherwise. We all have/had problems in life. You deal with it and move on. As you said, it may be time for me to move on....Rich
    I had the same problem with my ex gf as well. She's great when we're just friends but every week or so she just FREAKS OUT. I spent months trying to deal with it and whatnot but I just ran out of the time and energy. I just had to break up with her since it seemed like I would have to lose all my sanity before she could regain hers.

    As you mentioned in your post above too helping people is great. But seriously there's a limit where it starts interfering in your daily life and the cost is just too huge. I mean I can't donate my entire paycheck to a homeless man because he needs it and likewise I can't donate all my time and energy to a girl who never seems to be getting any better. It's the same with guy friends who are demanding as well but it always gets messy with chicks. I'm sure the females feel exactly the opposite

    Lastly Zib none of us have any real basis to hate you. We aren't the ones having to deal with the mess of the situation. It's easy to say "well do this, or you should have done this" but the true scope or frequency of your problem is impossible for anyone to gauge over a forum. If you think you've had enough and if you hate it then that's a good enough reason for you.

    Yes, zib, all women are crazy. Your story sounds scarily like something my girlfriend has done many, many times. They always have alterior motives, always have something to gain if they're doing something you want them to do, even if its as simple as being able to lord it over you to get you to do something for them.

    I agree with lawman, alcohol is usually a good medicator.

    But keep those Ducks in the safe until she's over it, because if your gf is anything like mine, and it sounds like she is, she'll definately know how to hit you where it hurts if she should ever want to.

    My dad's been married to the same woman for 27 years, and when I whined that I don't understand my gf, he turned to me and said "Son, there are two things men will never know or understand: How to program the clock on the VCR, and women."

    Seems to ring true.

    Look- I know none of us has the right answers to any other person's situation. At first in this thread I believe Zib needed some shoulder to lean on with his own frustrating situation, so of course- we poke fun at 'women' in general. I think what Bud said has merit as well as what others have said along the same lines, but again I think it isn't completely accurate. Some women and ALSO men really do have mental or emotional hurdles to overcome and for someone who needs to deal with that on a daily basis it is tough! All this same stuff applies to men, etc. but let's face it- this is a mostly male forum and I wouldn't expect jokes against women NOT to come up. I hope that none of us really are 'male chauvinists'. Do what you need to do Zib.

    Does this means she needs your help?Bipolar or Depressed person doesn't relies They need help but outside person sees better.She needs to see doctor then take her Please.wont be easy but it needs to be.

    One is for sure. Me, myself and I are crazy and my wife is too.

    One thing where I'm totally deaded is that beeing patient thing, sorry.
    If we live together we should have a equal rights to give and get. Sadly I have seen in many cases that women think that they can throw their emotional feelings in front of us and we should understand everything.
    Living together is not equal if man should be Dr.Phil once or twice a month without any reason. Then it's not an equal relationship anymore.
    Women always defence themselves for saying how well their female friend can listen etc. but we don't. That's a BS. They don't act same way with their friends or throw same kind of s**t towards them. If they do just the same they don't have any friends after that.
    I know that we all have our bad days sometimes and it's in a human nature that negative thinking stays inside of us for a while. IMO women (and men) should figure out themselves how to handle negative feelings without throwing them against to partner's face.

    I had to give myself some time to cool down, but I came back and it's still here. The OP is clearly in need of help--his relationship is emotionally damaging for both he and his girlfriend, and there could be SERIOUS consequences for the both of them if they don't change the situation. I know this from experience. zib, get out. You obviously are unable to provide proper care for your girlfriend, and she obviously needs something you can't give. This isn't a failing of yours, some people need different things, and that's just the way it is. But if you remain in this situation, something very bad may happen to one or the both of you.

    You should get out; and BOTH of you should get some counseling.
    It's understandable that you are feeling depressed and frustrated and you wanted to blow off some steam at a place where you feel comfortable.

    But then, what do I see?

We never do anything wrong--we aren't selfish, inconsiderate, lacking in sympathy or empathy...No, not at all.

    I know, I know, it's a joke, right? Don't take it so seriously, right? Quit being so PC, right?

    BS. The above comment is directed at my Mother. My Wife. My Sister. YOUR mother...If you don't think that's a problem, I have no idea what to say to you...

    I am deeply troubled by this thread and the open misognyny in it. I hope that this is not indicative of the community I have recently joined.
