Just to be clear this is not a “haha women so emotional and dumb am i right?” post. I’m in my 2nd serious relationship and in both relationships my girlfriend would have emotional outbursts directed me when they were stressed or in a bad mood. Like for example. My girlfriend is staying with me this weekend. Today she woke up from a poor night of rest and was obviously in a bad mood. I asked her twice if she had eaten something spicy the night before (because she has acid reflux) she told me to shut the fuck up. That put me in a bad mood for the rest of the morning, so later when she showered and had breakfast, she tried to kiss me and I refused, which then made her even more upset and she hasn’t spoken to me today. And honestly I don’t mind it because i’m still upset with her about it. Stuff like this is not uncommon when she’s stressed, cramping, sick, etc. She gets in bad mood and lashes out at me. I see a lot of guys go through this and manage to keep the peace and still be loving and supportive, I just want to learn how to accomplish this. I don’t wanna be that guy who goes tit for tat with his girlfriend when she’s emotional I want to be the rock she can lean on. submitted by /u/BankaiBroke
