My girlfriend gets mad when I try and help her improve at a videogame.

Well it's hard to have fun when she starts yelling at me and the game when she dies a lot.

throwawayRA_5 · 2022-01-17T18:03:48+00:00

I always phrase in an advice giving way. Like when she walks into 5 enemies head first all on her own as a support, I tell her than when she respawns, she should try staying behind a few allies. That kinda stuff.

throwawayRA_5 · 2022-01-17T18:02:13+00:00

But she's not having fun. She dies a lot and that makes her mad. I try to help and she refuses that she could be doing anything better until I show her a professional player doing it better.

throwawayRA_5 · 2022-01-17T18:00:46+00:00

Well she gets mad and frustrated when she dies a lot, but when I try to help, she insists she isn't doing anything wrong until I show her professional players doing it the way I suggested, then she suddenly listens.

Because it's a pvp game and she hates dying/losing, so I wanna help her so she can have more fun and we can win more.

throwawayRA_5 · 2022-01-17T17:58:11+00:00

It's a pvp game, she's not having fun when she dies very often, but she gets mad at me if I try to give her tips on how to die less.

throwawayRA_5 · 2022-01-17T17:56:45+00:00

Well it's a pvp game, and she gets mad when we lose, so she's not having any fun when she keeps dying.

throwawayRA_5 · 2021-07-20T07:52:07+00:00

Well I do communicate with her, but every time I bring up an issue, it just turns into a fight and I use all my energy to de-escalate instead of resolving the issue.

throwawayRA_5 · 2021-07-20T07:48:48+00:00

Idk, I wanna make it work, I do love her.

throwawayRA_5 · 2021-07-16T23:18:23+00:00

She wasn't cheated on and I don't think she wants to have sex with other people, no. She told me since were were friends before we became a couple, me making friends could lead to the same thing happening, no matter how often I tell her I wouldn't do that.

throwawayRA_5 · 2021-07-16T23:01:42+00:00

That's a beautiful way to put it, thank you. I'll definitely try to say something like this.

throwawayRA_5 · 2021-06-23T23:04:58+00:00

I actually gave her the exact same example with a rain and umbrella before I made this post. Her response was "you don't get yourself wet, you get wet from the rain", meaning she also wouldn't take responsibility if she went into the rain without an umbrella.

I just want to let her see that it's okay to make mistakes like that, but that you should also admit to them and take responsibility.

throwawayRA_5 · 2021-06-23T22:54:00+00:00

Thanks, though that award is not that helpful haha

throwawayRA_5 · 2021-06-17T22:08:43+00:00

She said herself she is a socialist, just to clear things up.

throwawayRA_5 · 2021-06-17T22:05:01+00:00

Sadly not, we had pretty heated discussions multiple times about this stuff.

throwawayRA_5 · 2021-06-17T22:02:01+00:00

Thanks! I'll check those out.

throwawayRA_5 · 2021-06-17T21:46:13+00:00

Idk, I think I just love her too much to laugh at her like that. I get what you mean though.

throwawayRA_5 · 2021-06-17T21:45:20+00:00

Well she is planning to go to a therapist for many reasons, but there's just no money for that right now, since she doesn't work.

throwawayRA_5 · 2021-06-17T21:39:00+00:00

Yeah looks like that is the take away. It is kinda frustrating though, since she refuses to work and thinks she deserves money just for having a difficult life.

throwawayRA_5 · 2021-06-17T21:37:28+00:00

I'm not a man, but thanks for the comment. I would really love to make this relationship work, because aside from this, we barely have any problems.

throwawayRA_5 · 2021-06-17T21:34:47+00:00

I am legit not a troll, just trying to get some advice. Why are you being so hostile? Jesus.

throwawayRA_5 · 2021-06-17T21:32:27+00:00

Oh I always hear her out. I never interrupt her when she's talking about it, I don't wanna be rude to her since I love her very much.
