A netizen shared how his girlfriend has a really bad temper and a habit of overreacting.
She would get angry over the smallest of things and block his number.
She got angry at something and shouted at him, before blocking his number, and the guy had enough – so he emailed her and broke up with her.
Here is the story:
“I have an abusive gf who gets disproportionally angry over the smallest things. Her temper tantrums will last upwards of over 3 days and will include a minimum 3 hour one-sided vicious rant at me. She is also in the habit of blocking my number whenever her temper tantrums kick in.
We have been together for 3 years during which the abuse from her got much worse in the past 2 years. Recently in the past 2 months I have been telling her that she is really taking me for granted. The reason I say that is no matter how hurtful and spiteful her words are to me, I do not fight back and remain patient and nice to her, in the hopes that it will soften her anger. The sad thing is instead of her appreciating this, she will just double her efforts to yell at me and to hurt me further after seeing that I do not retaliate.
She really drains my energy and my time.
Today after she yelled at me and blocked me, I decided enough was enough and wrote an email telling her I wish to end our relationship.
Is it normal to feel empty and perhaps even a sense of regret when one is leaving an abusive relationship? Logically if the relationship is toxic and I am the victim, on top of being the person who initiates the breakup, I shouldn’t have regrets? Is it odd that I feel so conflicted?
Can someone help me please?”
