I know she loves me and i feel the same with her but it seems as though she is trying to get on my nerves. Little things she blows out of proportion. Yes I have alot of stress in my life, she is only making my stress worse. I would like to slow our relationship down...she is always trying to push me into something that i don't want to do. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should handle this. My counselor told me to break up with her until I get my life straightened around, is there another way?Stressed and Confused Reply to this Question

I think that she is high maintenance too! Some of us women do like to think that the world revolves around us and that we should have all our own way ( to be fair - some men are like that as well!!!)
You must be honest with her and tell her the problem - you love her and want her but she is pushing too hard. Tell her you are stressed at the moment because of your job or what ever it is and that you are not up to being in a stressful relationship too. If she agrees to tone it down fair enough but you may have to take a break if she reacts badly. No one likes being critisised so be careful how you phrase all of this!!
By the way - If a woman blows things out of proportion dont let her dwell on problems, nip them in the bud before she gets the chance to mull them over and get wound up.
