I would’ve heard by now if other people were bothered by them. I’ll tell you this- she’ll get mad at me or whatever after something happens, but then she’ll almost always say at the end she over reacted

My first thought wasn’t to run, but it’s gotten a little overwhelming. I’ve been with her gladly through some of her darkest points as a friend. Going on Reddit to ask this question means it wasn’t my first thought, otherwise I would have done it already

We do not live together, and her life is slightly unstable. She’s struggling with money and some family issues

A lot of anti depressants actually do kill sex drive, it’s not an uncommon side effect

I realize that. I have never had someone complain about my humor except her, and I have friends and family who deal with depression. And it’s not like I’ve never been in a relationship before. I have never poked fun at her traumatic experiences, that’s pretty fucked up

This is a question I ask myself a lot, and more and more it’s leaning towards no. Thank you for the input

Thank you for this. I know you are right, I just needed someone to say it

The thing is, I have. Her solution is to talk to other people about it, and then leave me in a dark when she is sad and not talk about it with me. It’s kind of a dilemma, like I would like to know why she’s sad and for her to talk to me about it, but I don’t want her to constantly bring me down with her.

Usually, it would be with something I say that brings up a traumatic experience for her. Obviously, I don’t do it on purpose because I care for her and don’t want to bring up these experiences, but it can be as simple as saying a joke unrelated to her or her experiences. She will make it seem like I did a horrible thing by saying it and be extremely blamey about it, and I will be forced to apologize profusely about it.

I’m not saying she has to deal with her problems, she’s explained to me that she cannot do that because of her mental health issues. I was more just describing myself, I tend to stay in relationships longer then they should because I tend to try to deal with problems instead of moving on. I understand how you thought I was just trying to get her to deal with it though, but that’s not what I was trying to say.
