Hi Everyone;
I am not sure if I am posting this personal question within the correct category, but, this one comes closest to matching the scenario I want to present. While I have requested advice for hundreds of questions on this forum, this is perhaps the most difficult one. But, without burying this post in too many details, here is the synopsis of it.
First, I have a girlfriend for whom I have been seeing for about 5 months. She is very affectionate and tells me that she loves me everyday. Unfortunately, I seem to get on her nerves quite often without being totally clear on what I had done wrong. For instance, last Friday, she came in complaining that it was cold outside. As a gesture or attempt to cheer her up, I said, "At least it is Friday". Well, she reacted in a defensive manner by saying "What does that have to do with it being cold outside"? And, there was another incident in public which caused much embarassment and anger within myself. She said in front of a friend of mine that I often talk for hours without saying anything. These are just two of many other situations which came up with rudeness being the center of it.
While her behavior does upset me and causes me sometimes to desire being away from her, I still love Sonya and wish there was something I could do to try to salvage this relationship. After all, a loving relationship with another special person may not come around again.
In closing, I would sincerely appreciate any shared thoughts or ideas to this personal crissis. The main reason I am posting this personal dilemna online is because I want an objective viewpoint which I may or may not get from my closest personal friends or family.
In the meantime, I hope to hear from everyone soon because I would like to make a decision on what direction to take. If there are any questions, which I suspect there will be, I will certainly answer them as this thread unfolds into the direction needed to get through this personal crissis.
Thanks in advance for any attention given to this post. I will be look forward to reviewing everyone's suggestions.
George
