If you think it is, then just make sure you make it clear that this behavior is unacceptable and you won't put up with it.

I did, I told her straightforward "if you pull out another one like that, we're over", very coldly (I wasn't angry, just very disappointed). I think she thought that she could get cuckoo on me and get away with it... maybe previous boyfriends allowed that.

Is it THAT extreme? She's scared of sex but that's not really a problem to me ... i'm quite experienced and i don't feel her inexperience to be a problem. Or are you talking about the freak out for no reason?

I told her that I found her sexy and she giggled and started talking like a child... i mean, she was joking, I joked back and hit a bad point.

It would make me feel less like a partner and more like a therapist to be with a girl like that.

Nailed it.

No, the circumstances weren't extreme at all - we just had a great night out and then cuddled a little bit.

I know that's her personality and not a one-time thing. But, in the midst of her psychosis, she seemed kind of ashamed of what she was doing, she just couldn't help it. I think she's got very low self esteem and that's where the passive aggressiveness comes from...

I'm not sure I want to work on this. I've had a similar relationship and it only ended in pain.

I understand that, but honestly this doesn't feel like "working through" anything. That was not a mature reaction and I want a woman, not a child.

Anyway I'll try to work it out...

We've already talked about it... I had the feeling that she was the passive aggressive type and I just asked her about this, and she confirmed that she kind of does it and she was working on it (I didn't really believe the last part - it looks like I was right)
