    Thanks Chinese Whospers.

    I said she looked wrecked because she did and it would have been best for her to go to bed. She took it as a putdown.

    Yep, my comment that about her humour not being very original could be taken badly but immediately said all is ok it is funny move on.

    She went berserk texting even saying it was a'cut to the bone' comment. I mean it was OTT.

    She just makes arguments out of nothing

    And on top of this she has effed me out of it many times and called me a dick, an arsehole a prick etc etc



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 74 ✭✭Jimbob77


    I can take name calling etc but smashing property up in a temper is too far

    Yeah, I’m not feeling the love there.

    IF somebody said to you… ‘I forbid you to see her.’ What would your reaction be? Relief, regret?

    If somebody asked you why are you STILL with her what would your IMMEDIATE answer be? Don’t think… just answer.

    ^^^ are rhetorical questions. You could ask yourself these for staters.

    Leave, how long before she turns her anger on you. Just leave .

    Honestly I feel stressed reading them, at best you could keep her as a distant friend if she has other good qualities, she might be a good match for someone else, but if it were me, I think get out. She's just too intense imo



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,199 ✭✭✭cap.in.hand.


    Does she not want to finish the relationship as well as it certainly doesn't seem to be fully working



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,355 ✭✭✭✭CoBo55


    Yes she was. I've a sister exactly like that, two marriages and one child later she lives in a flat on her own drinking white wine like water. One husband a really quiet decent guy is in the grave. Run jimbob run like the wind.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,495 ✭✭✭Wheety


    Even if it was 6 years, I'd be saying goodbye, never mind 6 months. It's just not worth it. She'll only get worse. Break up in public though, with witnesses.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,412 ✭✭✭Jequ0n


    Well, enjoy the ride until it ends. If you are willing to accept name calling (outside of a joking banter way) you are a willing participant in the game. But you know that yourself.

    Thanks. I have made up my mind.

    What happened that poor man?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 352 ✭✭Snugbugrug28


    She's just lashed out a bit. She's erm...passionate shall we say.


    Theres a world of difference smashing something against the wall and smashing it against you. She probably refrains from throwing vases at you out of pure love.

    Perhaps you can be grateful she's found a way of getting your own ridiculous behaviour off her chest :)


    I disagree with the other posters. I think you should stick.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 984 ✭✭✭Still stihl waters 3


    The sex is probably phenomenal with a woman like that, it usually is a bit freaky with the unstable ones, ultimately tho it all boils down to never stick your dick in crazy

    Thread is getting a bit misogynistic. Crazy women great in bed, blah blah stereotypes.

    Advice should be the same to a man or woman experiencing red flags like this - go.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,860 ✭✭✭Pissy Missy


    Let us know how the break up goes, best of luck 🌟

    Do you think she behaves like this to her friends, her boss or colleagues? If your answer is no, why do you believe it is acceptable for you to be the target of this verbal abuse? Something tells me that your perception of what a good relationship entails is wrong. Have you ever been in a relationship with a nice person or have you got a track record of hooking up with women with issues? Do you frequently find yourself on the wrong end of verbal lashings? You don't seem to see anything wrong with being called all these names. You're posting here about a relatively new relationship that is already not working well. She's verbally abusive, she's smashing things and you don't appear to know whether you're coming or going. It isn't going to get better and don't fool yourself into thinking anything will change. At 44 years of age she is highly unlikely to change and you've been given an insight into the sort of person she is and what your relationship will be like. She has well and truly told you who she is and to the rest of us, it isn't pretty. The good points she has count for nothing when lined up against the troubling things you've told us.

    Two heart attacks within a month of each other he didn't survive the second one he was only 62.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 74 ✭✭Jimbob77


    I will break it off.

    Her behaviour is not acceptable



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 95 ✭✭Ham Grenade


    Have you explored BDSM with her as Domme and you as sub/slave? Such scenes may allow her blow off steam

    Edit - warning given for breach of charter

    Just for anyone reading this in future: Dom(me)s should be calm and controlled at all times. Someone who cannot control their temper have no place being in a position of trust and power. Boundaries and limited are extremely important in BDSM, and if she can't follow regular boundaries in normal life, there is no way she should be allowed near a person in a vulnerable position.


    OP, you say you will break it off and that is absolutely the correct thing to do. However, it might be worth exploring why you felt someone smashing things and exhibiting unstable behaviour was justifiable to you at all, and how you might be able to recognise it in future.

    You say she has a lot of good qualities, and she probably does. The thing is, most people are not all bad and evil. Even in the worst of DV situations, there are good qualities to a person. It's important to know that the good doesn't justify that level of bad.

    Thanks.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,768 ✭✭✭✭Wanderer78


    ah theres clearly some sort of psychological issues going on there, could be bpd or god only knows what, not easy disorders to be dealing with unfortunately, and generally require professional help to resolve, so this is probably where you re at, it could be time for an adult conversation about getting that professional help, thats if you want the relation to survive! best of luck



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 74 ✭✭Jimbob77




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,076 ✭✭✭JoChervil


    If she behaves like this in six months relationship, you can assume, you didn't cause it (I mean you didn't cause dealing in this way with problems and you very likely didn't cause this high level of her aggression), so it is not your responsibility to help her. What's more you are probably not qualified to do it.

    I don't know how damaged you are yourself, if you even have doubts about accepting such behaviour or not. But if you think, you don't deserve better, so you need professional help as well.

    But with these silly reasons for arguments you gave us I am not entirely sure it's not a wind up...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,768 ✭✭✭✭Wanderer78


    its a possibility, but who knows, but theres clearly some sort of disorder(s) going on there, thats very abnormal behavior, the average person does not go around smashing things, its common with disorders such as cluster b's for fits of rage



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 74 ✭✭Jimbob77


    I promise you this is not a wind up.

    I just am hesitant to walk away because she has good points and also I will have to move out, find accommodation etc in the middle of a housing crisis



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,957 ✭✭✭kirk.


    If you feel you need the relationship and can't walk away it'll probably be 10x worse the life you'll have with her



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,076 ✭✭✭JoChervil


    If you dragged a housing crisis into it, I am pretty sure now, it is. Next point for discussion...

    Boards will always advise you to leave her and that her behaviour is unacceptable. Personality disorder etc. You have to make your own mind up.
