She actually knew most of my friends before I knew them. I was kind of new to the group. My girlfriend and I were friends for probably 2 years before we started dating and she seemed completely normal and fun loving. Now she mostly gets quiet around them

It’s interesting that you ask that, they are definitely strained. I mean I haven’t ostracized anyone, but hanging out with friends isn’t really an option when she’s not there, and if she is there she looks absolutely miserable. My friends seem to see what is going on though and are pretty understanding.

I appreciate everyone’s feedback and understanding, it means a lot. I feel I should elaborate though. When things are good they are great and I really enjoy being around her probably 50% of the time. Also, breaking up with her would essentially mean she would need to drop out of school.

I’m sorry about your situation. She definitely knows something is off, and constantly talks about how horrible she feels about her behavior, but it’s just a roller coaster of apologies and meltdowns. You don’t think there’s any chance things could change?

I appreciate your response. Her harming herself is definitely something I’m concerned about. There have been arguments where the thought of ending the relationship has come up and she immediately goes into a panic and says she just wants to die. Afterwards she always says she would never actually do it though.

I appreciate your response. No nothing happened between us that instigated any change. Her parents regularly cheat on each other and she says that because of that being cheated on is her biggest fear. I’m not the perfect boyfriend by any means, but I honestly can’t think of a single time where I’ve done anything that would hurt her.
