Hi, I need some advice about my
girlfriend. I am at the end of the rope
here and am very frustrated and thinking
about breaking up with her. For the
past few months I have not been happy.
Her attitude sucks. She makes fun of me
whenever she can. She is short and rude
with me most of the time, and has even
been known to back away whenever I try to
touch or kiss her. She even wipes her
mouth sometimes after I kiss her. She
says she is going through a 'touch-me-not'
phase where she doesn't want to be around
anybody. She also has no sex drive
whatsoever (i am veeeery sexually
frustrated). All this (she says) may
result from her birth control pill. I
know that the pill may effect her mood but
I think it is an excuse---i don't think it
is a valid reason for her to not even be
curteous towards me. I mean I know a
lot of women on the pill and they don't
seem like this. It blew up the other
day and she apologized profusely for being
mean and promised to make changes. It
has been a few days and no changes yet.
I love this girl with all my heart and
want nothing more than to be with her but
I can't take this anymore. What should
I do? Thanks!!

The pill shouldn't make her want to avoid
you. The pill can lower sexdrive, but
only if they are a decade old. The pill
these days are formulated to avoid weight
gain, depression, low sexdrive etc. To
the point that they actually help even out
your mood. Go with your first instinct.
There is an underlying problem that she is
not talking about. Perhaps things are a
little repetative in your relationship at
the moment. And you two need to do
somthing a little more sparatic before the
boredom turns into a case of dumped. If
both of you arn't putting in a obvious
effort to help the relationship. Then
perhaps you should look for somone else.
Obviously there is something she isn't
telling you, whether it is depression,
anxiety, or some other health issues
(maybe mulitple health issues.) girls
often act irritated and mean and rude when
going through a major change in their
lives...And it's up to you to find out
what it is that is bothering her. Ask
her...Ask her friends...Ask her parents?
Another thing that you should recognize is
that the people we love the most make us
feel irritated the most. Maybe it is
that you are irritating her also.
Patience and support would probably work
best if you want to keep up this
relationship. If you break up with her,
make sure you arent adding to the many
"disasters" in her life at this time.
You may have no idea what she is going
through that is making her this way.
Maybe it's worse. Then again maybe it's
nothing. And you should just stop
wasting your sweet time with this moody
health forum. (by the way, I feel sorry
for my boyfriend cuz I do the same thing
to him. I am extremely mean to him. I
realized i've been suffering from major
depression, two anxiety disorders, and
some other problems this past year. Ha,
he gives me most of my anxiety. Is that
what you do to her?)
good luck!

Thanks for the replies! Just to clarify,
she told me her dad and ex (6 years) were
very unaffectionate and didn't treat her
the best. During one instance her ex
spit in her face! I realize the way she
has been treated before may impact her
greatly and she said she is not used to a
guy treating her nicely like I do. But
we have talked about it over and over
again. It would be nice to see some
progress. I just want the hurting to
stop. It really does appear that nice
guys finish last. Some common courtesy
is all I ask. I just don't see her
putting in any effort. What else can I
do?
Have you told her everything about how you
feel?
Given examples of what shes done to you?
Have you told her you may want to break up
with her?
Just remember to be as nice as you can and
do not look angry around her cuz she will
be more prone to be doing the same

Thanks so much for your replies. I
spoke to her about it yesterday and we are
going to take a break, clear our heads,
and try to work things out. She says
she understands where I am coming from.
Thanks again
