hello I a a lesbian any my girlfriend is really feminine and I am too, but not as much as her. we've been together 9 months. She wants me to treat her like I was man as far as doing things for her.

She is also ex anorexic and does have mental issues and becomes moody. If i dont behave in a certain way she gets mad and breaks up with me. She calls me a couple days later apologizing.

How do I handle these constant mood swings and breaking up. I love her a accept her but it's very straining on me emotionally. Any advice to handle her. I searched for research to handle her but cant find any?

Thank you for your advice but that seems to be the case everywhere i seek. She has not had counseling and bringing it up will probably cause another fight. But tThank you Again I will grit my teeth for now. I look for other solutions.

there is nothing you can do but grit your teeth or dump her and move on. My ex was a nutter, but i loved her, and after a while when we first went out, those annoying things about her went away. its solely up to you, if you have the willpower to put up with it because you potentially see being with her in the future then do what it takes, DONT TRY AND CHANGE THEM, it will only make them made and more crazy, accept them or move on i would say

Fairy_Lu agony auntThis is a very hard situation and i understand where she is coming from has she gone through counsilling to see if they can find whats behind these particular issues or maybe you could try couple counsilling. This seems very unfair on you and i think your very fustrated i know you want to help her and be there for her but do you think she is emotionally ready for a relationship, and after only nine months this seems a little extreme for a relationship i think you need to sit down with her and talk through your issues and see what can be done

xxbaybeegal agony auntnow this is a tuff question, well from what your saying is that any little thing you say can trigger her, and before you know it your DUMPED! so my advice is to take everything bit by bit, you might also want to go to a counselling session and that might help, also you need to tell her anything that is bothereing her she can confide in you. take this advice and it might work
