I met my girlfriend last year at Uni. We're both 19, and normally she's perfect. Kind, funny, happy and beautiful. People outside the relationship still see her that way, but with me she's started to show me her true self. After the first few months she changed, she has a horrible temper, her moods change constantly. She can be her normal happy self one day then an hour later she's looking for an argument with me.
It started when she began lying to me, about anything, just to get a reaction. One day she sat me down and told me, with a serious face, that she cheated on me with on of my friends. She sat there, and said nothing until I got ready to walk out, before admitting she lied about it just to see my reaction. She then tried to laugh it off, trying to kiss me. She couldn't understand why I was so pissed off.
She accuses me of all sorts, if I talk to another girl she will remember it and then when she's looking for another fight, she starts accusing me of cheating. She locked me in a room with her once, and started trying to make me angry, telling me things to piss me off. We started arguing (again.) then she started taunting me, shouting and crying “Go on! Hit me, I know you want to! Go on! Go on!”...
I hate it. I'd never hit her, and she knows it.
She's lashed out on me once, though. That night when I was stuck in her room. She got so infuriated that I wouldn't hit her, she hit me instead. She sat in the bathroom crying for hours after she did it.
Then the next day, she's fine again.
I've never hated someone I love, so much before. I love her but, I hate her so much when she changes like that, when she starts giving me the whole “Fine! I'll go kill myself” emotional blackmail routine, I've gotten so fed up with it that I've yelled back “GOOD! Make it quick”... But I don't mean it. I go in to check on her minutes later.
It would be easy for me if I didn't love her, if I didn't care, I would just tell her to get lost and stay the hell away from her. When we're together in Uni, she's her normal self again.. The Anna everyone loves. Guys glance at her sometimes and I can't help but wonder “if only they knew...”
I don't know what to do, or where we will end up. Anyone been in a similar situation or any advice?
