Valentines day break up

[Tr9n]

I've been dating my girlfriend about 10 months. About 2 months ago, she started to become slightly controlling, and she has ramped it up since then, especially in the last 3-4 weeks. She is also becoming angry, and a find myself not talking much to avoid her anger, and then she gets mad at me for not talking! It's ridiculous! She also used to worship me, but now its like she hates me and I'm awful and she's pulling away. But then randomly she'll go back to worshiping me and get really clingy on top of it.

I realized today that shes not going to turn back into who she was before, because she has shown her true colors and this is who she is. I need to break up with her, but its really near valentines day. What should I do? She says she's so excited for v-day and got me a nice gift, and its obvious she expects one too.

Should I break up tomorrow, or on v-day, or right after? Or should I wait a few weeks? And if I should break up in a few weeks, should I get a present, or no? :rock:

Thanks!

If you're really going to break up, why wait? Just do it.

Realistically, you should have done it when you knew it werent going to work. Dont put it off, just tell her.

Who cares what day it is on Sunday?

I swear if I see another "Because it's Valentine's Day" post related to ANYTHING, whether it's dating, asking someone out, or breaking up, I'm going to make unicorns an extinct species.

It just sounds to me that you are hovering right now just to see what the "nice gift" is. And if you girlfriend has been more controlling as of late, it's because YOU have allowed her to do so, and being quiet did NOT help that at all. You are a man, you were supposed to put your foot down and say: HEY, STOP THIS.

But no, you just sat by idly and let her take control... not for a few hours, few days, weeks, but for MONTHS now?

If you don't want to be with her anymore, DON'T WAIT. No gift is worth hanging around a little bit longer.

There is no good time to break up with someone.

You're just making excuses. Do it.

So you're asking us if you should make personal life decisions based on the sales schedule of the Hallmark corporation?

So did you break up with her? Or did you realize that the Hallmark Corporation is more important to you?
