writes: Hi, new to this, 24 yrs old, so here it goes. My gf, of 7 months is ex-military, been to iraq and seen some stuff. She was cheated on when she was married before, and has always been told she's a screw up. I've told her repeatedly that i love her and i'm there for her yet thats still not enough. She tells me she doesn't trust me, I've never cheated my entire life, and to grow up. She has her immature moments too but i don't call her out. I'm workin out of state and miss her so much, but it just seems she's always mad at me, i can't do anything right, not just cuz i'm out of state but all the time. What can i do to keep her happy? it switches so fast, mad, happy, mad, happy? Please help.

You'd be surprised how many soldiers get it.
You need to be there for her, but also let her know you are not a verbal punching bag and cannot stand by and be abused. Suggest counseling.
Just don't come acriss as too agressive, keep it mainly concerned.
