My gf & I have been together for almost a year. I can say i
love her a lot, to the extent where the thought of her being
unhappy/in pain irks me...
But if there is 1 thing about her i can't stand, it's her
temper. She gets angry very easily, even minor things like hot
weather. I suspect she has "princess temper". I ALWAYS
give in to her & chase after her even when she is in the wrong.
Due to this, i think, she is becoming more confident that i would
go after her & started to walk away from me without even
turning her head to see if i'm after her...
I do my responsibilities as a boyfriend as best as i can. I
really do LOVE her, but sometimes, whenever she throws her temper,
i tell myself: "Oh not again!". Because her throwing her temper
means, very often, an hour at least of chasing after her,
apologising to her & making her forgive me.
She always blames her temper on me: "Who ask you to do the
wrong things" & "Who ask you to say the wrong thing?".
I am someone who is very soft-hearted. I can't bear to leave her
& she has a way with me. She knows how to make me feel soft.
Heck, i can't even bear to walk away when she walks off away from
me. I will always, without any option, chase after her to patch
things back as i don't want to ruin a beautiful day.
My question, most importantly, is: "Is there any way to change
her temperament?". We had many talks about this & she would
always tell me she won't get angry so easy anymore... But time
after time, she does. I'm feeling really helpless...
Maybe she's stepping over you, maybe she's just like that...
The fact is... Can you cope with that....?
And if your answer is 'no', my follow up questions would
be...
"Are you gonna do anything about it....? And would you....?"
Change her temperament? Heard of the saying "When there's a
will, there's a way"? Maybe it won't just happen overnight, but
take things slow and just try to make minor changes one at a
time.... Cause if you can't do that, and you can't tolerate her
temperament and behaviour, sooner or later, the relationship would
most likely be a gone case.....
On one hand, ask her.... In order to salvage the relationship,
is she willing and sincerely would like to put in her part and
effort for this relationship of you two....?
