As you are a man,you shall take a comprehensive approach in understanding her,when time comes you shall make her aware of her nature.


this is most likely a cultural difference but as a woman Prash, I'd find this offensive....(I'm American)

Since its a new thing, I would see if she's aware of a trigger for the anxiety of a past experience.

Like folks have said, if she's not aware of the trigger, she'll need to find (typically: therapy) out so she can communicate that to other people, and you if youre still there.

Sometimes, when you know what the trigger is, the power to set you off is diminished naturally. Other times, the awareness at least lets you know to begin your appropriate coping strategies, that dont involve blaming other people or pretending to be mad about something non existent.




what if she's just justifiably annoyed

it is possible yanno

I would say it is all up to you. How long have you been with her..and do you believe she could be the one. If so they you both need to seek out some therapy as a couple. The reason I say both of you...is because you will be a big part of how this will go down. You will need to be able to help her and help yourself with the "tools" that will be discussed in therapy to work through this. People naturally carry around "luggage" from their past. It not always easy to overcome especially if this experience has impacted their whole universe of security. I wish you luck.

This...
Plus quit lookin for online help from strangers.
Get involved in her or get involved in moving on.

My advice would to be to break it off. I personally do not date men who are very sarcastic. Though my ex husband is mensa and amazing, after almost 20 years, I can't take really nasty sarcastic. They can be funny or witty or even twisted but out and out sarcasm opens wounds that shouldn't be picked at. There are a plethora of people to choose from, though it doesn't always seem like it, and it's best if someone reminds you of someone too much not to be with them in my opinion. It could be her issue with everyone but you don't want to be picking scabs your whole relationship and having to run and spray bactine on them. I am trying to think of that line from the Morrisette song, something about not wanting to put bandages over wounds you didn't cause.

I was just thinkin that! I wonder what would happen to her trust issues if she found you hangin on a dating site.


Was hoping to get some input from people who have maybe been in similar situations before (on either side of it) and I am grateful for the insight provided. Been on this site several years ago and de-activated my account...just re-activated it for the forums (hence the 3 or 4 year old pictures. Lol)

If you don't have trust, you don't have a relationship.
