So my girlfriend of 10 months now everything has been going great except for the past few months where her EGO has been really pissing me off beyond belief. I hate how she always tries to cry in front of me to make me feel bad, but she does it so much I know she does it on purpose. But anyway about her Ego, well she claims she isn't high maintenance, but her parents bought her a brand new car, a brand new $2,000 Macbook Pro and she thinks she's the hottest thing since sliced bread and it's really getting to her head. She always brags how she has over 500+ friends on Facebook and sh!t and says things to me like "Why do so many people like me? They all think I'm so cool! I can't help it..." it just pushes my buttons and I don't know what to do....I feel like she doesn't need me in her life, I'm just "There" It always seems like I'm the one that wants to spend time with her and she'll just spend time with me. I know this may come off as sounding a bit heartless but this reason pushes me away from her and just makes me wanna break her heart for acting like her life is so perfect. I'm the one always waiting for her. Things seem like it's leading me to break up with her but it kinda sucks. She always turns things around at me and is like "Wanna fight with me? Fight me then" and she always asks me "When do you want me to call you? Tell me when you want me to call" and I always respond with like "Call whenever the hell you want" I aint saying no time. Just wanted to know what you guys think. Am I in the wrong? What would YOU do cause I'm clueless.
dude she sounds pretty annoying. the very fact that she keeps announcing how great she is shows that she questions how great she is by needing constant confirmation of her greatness from you. i'm sorry but i can't stand to be around people that do this. i'd dump her if i was you.
The only advice I would have for anyone who seemed so rightfully annoyed by a person they were dating, if I may take a page from advice columnist Dan Savage's book: Dump The Mother Fucker Already
You are wasting your time, find someone who doesn't need you to confirm their popularity. Find someone who just wants to be with you and can be themselves. Good luck
maybe talk to her about it. or try to put her in check. i remember after my first taste of "cool" in 6th grade, i acted sorta like that. my friends put me in check right quick though.
If I talk to her about it, what would you recommend me say? Or how should I go on about it? Because everytime she feels like I'm talking to her in an argument she's like "You wanna fight me? Fight me now then. C'mon I wanna fight" and it just pushes my buttons even more and I just end up not saying anything and sitting there like a fool. What should I say to put her in check?
how old are you dude? When i was in highschool i went through something similar.. my friends all tried telling me how badly i was being treated and what a stuck up bitch my gf was but i was so love struck i actually turned on my friends for saying the things they did, i was offended, felt like they were jealous or something... ended up they were right, and it looks to me like you are seeing the truth, how you deal with it is ur choice though man.
Basically, you can either learn by this guy's mistake. Or take forever to dump her and learn by your own mistake. Being that you are from modern western society, you are most likely going to choose the latter. Why?
i dunno man. maybe just sorta mock her a little bit every time she says something about her popularity. and if you wanna talk to her about it. maybe "your ego is really starting to bother me." but yeah, it sounds like that'd just make her try to act tough or whatever. i'm really just throwing out what makes sense to me though. i have no personal experience with this sort of situation except what i already said.
Just say, "I'm dumping you today because you're an annoying, egotistical bitch. Goodbye." And then walk away. No matter what she does, just leave, don't answer her phone calls or emails. Don't give in to her demands for attention. Trust me, I've dealt with my fair share of male narcissists. The worst thing you could do to them is ignore them. So do it.
The human ego is a terrible terrible thing. Confidence is one thing, but putting yourself above anyone else is bound to hurt them and you.
Why do people post this kind of stuff and not put important info like their age in? Is the OP 15? or 50? Be funny if he was 50. Facebook sucks, I hate that site. 500 friends? 495 of whom she doesnt even know I'll bet
dump that egocentric bitch. that'll def kill it a little or maybe create chaos and think 'i can get any guy i want" type of deal...anyways...not your misery anymore right?
this actually doesn't sound like a bad idea. it'd get the message across to her for sure. unless she's just that dense.
that doesnt make the sense though. the bitch is crazy enough, why make her crazier? Just let it be and let her drown in her egocentric misery
yeah, i dunno. i imagine a psychologist would suggest trying to be straight forward and honest with her without making her feel like a victim.
