He just wants to be loved!

I mean, he needs to tone it down a little, but if he's planning on staying with his GF, it's not the worst thing ever to cultivate the relationship with her Mom and have her be his motherly figure. I can see him dragging out the relationship just so he can get some sweet mom notsex-action.

I wonder how much "Hey, that chick you aspire to be? she's a dude. Like, not even in a 'I don't understand transgender' sense. Nope, he's just a dude to loves girl clothes and make-up" affects the self-confidence of a chick with the OP's problems.

Are there updates where the BF breaks up with her anyway and continues to bro out with Jamie while she stews outside the window, waiting for the Make-out session that is definitely going to happen tonight, she swears?

It's just so odd that she somehow never pressed the issue enough before that point. "what do you mean one of the guys?!" seems like an obvious follow up to some of those times she was getting angry about it. I'm hoping we're missing how obvious the whole thing was, because the way she writes about it, it was a little odd how they'd essentially say Jamie was a guy, but were always coy about it too? It's just so weird to me that they had several conversations on the topic before it was made clear to her that Jamie was indeed a dude and even that was done in weird way (bf says nothing while getting him to come over to explain). Again, not taking her side at all, the whole thing just seems weird.

A lot of liberals thing "being polite about gender" means "never mentioning it ever except coy wink-nudge acknowledgements of the status quo" and that's what this reads like.

Yeah thinking about it more it's weird that the boyfriend didn't just say "Jamie's a man" instead of texting them and waiting for them to get there to say "I'm a man.", especially since they later act like it was common knowledge. Hm.

They know he's a dude because they've known him forever and they know what he looks like when not all tarted up. Easy to forget other people don't have that advantage.

I also don't know how she could be so oblivious so as to not notice Jamie is actually a man in women's clothing. I mean, I've seen some people pull it off really well, but usually after hanging out with them a few times you'll figure it out.

If he's figured out the difference in walk/cadence, body language and stuff like not splaying your legs or scratching your balls while hocking a loogie, a lot of people aren't all that observant. The GF might have been staring at Jamie, but she was distracted by her seething jealousy and anger.

You shall not pass!

Girlfriend (26F) had had 4 abusive ex-boyfriends, how do I (29M) know I'm not just another one?

quote:

GF and I of 9 months just had our first blow up fight this weekend and I am having trouble processing a lot of thoughts and feelings about it. I need some outside opinions.

We were both ticked off about each other's phone habits, in that we are both constantly on our phones but whereas I tend to text her back right away and respond quickly, she tends to put it off and get to it whenever. She wasn't even denying it, she just said she prefers to wait. I asked her wait for what and she didn't have a real answer, basically that she just waits sometimes and then sometimes forgets, but then gets back to it. It was a frustrating conversation, and a long time coming.

But this fight escalated when we got home to our apartment and after going back and forth for a while, I got way too pissed off and left the room to smoke a cigarette. After about 10 minutes I calmed down a bit and came back inside but she was still just as upset as before and started coming at me with obvious meanness, telling me not to slam the door (I absolutely did not) and muttering under her breath that "you're all the same." It was starting to piss me off again so I asked her to repeat herself and she repeated "yeah, you're all exactly the same, don't think you're any different."

What she's referring to are her ex-boyfriends, all 4 of whom were physically abusive to her. I have never laid a hand on her or even come close in any circumstance. This was the first time I ever even got angry with her.

So obviously this pissed me off and I asked her "why would you compare me to those guys? I've never come close to ever hitting you or hurting you like that." And she said "Yeah well, you will, and when you do, make sure you don't leave any marks around my face because I don't want you to get into trouble. I still like you a lot."

She started crying after that and just left the apartment. I tried to ask her to stay but she literally darted to her car and sped off.

I feel so uncomfortable and troubled by this. How am I supposed to take this? Does she feel something in me that makes her feel threatened? Am I doing this all wrong? I admit that when I was younger, I used to have some anger problems but I've gotten way better about how to handle it, and despite the anger, I've never, ever hit my girlfriends before.

I don't want her to feel scared of me. I don't want her to think of me in that way or expect that one day I'll lose it on her. What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this? What if I am this person and I don't even know it? Is that possible? I can't imagine hurting her so why does she feel that way about me?

TLDR: GF and I had our first major fight and she accused me of being "all the same" as her previous boyfriends, who were all physically abusive. I've never been physical aggressive with her and I feel hurt and also somewhat paranoid that I'm acting in a way that scares her. I don't know how to fix this so she doesn't feel that way or expect that from me. How can I communicate with her better to change this?
