I originally met my girlfriend about 6 years ago, we didn't speak up until 3 years ago, and have being together since the 30th, 09', 2 years in 2 weeks.
It isn't the perfect relationship to start with we are both insecure in our own ways, I am the type to keep quiet and deal with things that bother me, if it gets so bad, then I confront her but she is fully foot down with hers. Just last night she deleted the best part of 30 numbers in my phone- even my sisters because in her words 'The number didn't match my sisters on her phone' Then got upset saying I shouted at her, when I just asked 'what are you doing?' in a tone nowhere near shouting. Where I work there are a few people who are in relationships and who aren't and those who aren't are drastically more unhappy than those in, I don't want it to come to that, being honest, after two years of 'seclusion' lets say, I wouldn't know how to start a new relationship.
But the topic of today's arguments was tattoos. She was fine for me getting my shoulders tattoo'd then when I asked her about having my forearm tattoo'd she said she hated tattoos and people with them. So I assumed it was her insecurities as the tattoo is visible it would draw attention.So I asked about getting a tattoo on my bicep, higher up so it is covered, not an offensive tattoo in any sense, just a simple maori pattern. She told me if i got a tattoo she was going to go out in a bikini, after I said there was no relevance between the two she ignored me for an hour and sat crying in my arm, refusing to tell me what was up. Then she turned it onto me, saying i was ignoring her, great. Shes gone back to college now, but I don't know what to do. I want to get a tattoo but I don't want to loose her, or have to put up with games, I get the strong feeling that if i go against her now, she'll make it hell for me.
Sorry, For the long read, What should I do?
