 Posted: 20:14 - 23 Jan 2014 Post subject: Girlfriend issues! Help me out mighty BCF! |
 |
|
Hi folks,
Feeling abit down and thought I should try and talk about it instead of getting down in the dumps!
Basically,
I have been with my girlfriend for a year and a half. I'm 21, she is 39
She has been ill for the last few weeks and has been thinking about moving to Devon. Just so your aware Devon is a good 4 hours from where I live.
I obviously don't want her to move but she is pretty much set in her ways, the only thing that is stopping her is me. (Her words not mine)
I think that she is getting very stressed about this all as I have told her I'm not moving as I have a very close relationship with my family and I have a great job, she wants to move to the middle of nowhere, no jobs no nothing.
Last night she went off on one, shouting, screaming, saying "I'm sick of people organising me, everyone can fuck off. All I want is to be happy and it's so hard for everybody else to let me be happy!" She kept on about the organising thing.
Now I don't try to organise her at all, I live on my own but spend 3 or 4 days a week at hers. I don't ever actually organise her, I ask if I can help out at all but we tend to do our own thing most of the time unless we are watching tv, chatting etc.
She quit her job a few months ago and is now at home with her two kids all day.
Have I actually done anything wrong or is she just venting all the pent up worries on me? She hasn't spoken to me all day, normally she texts me a few times a day. We have argued a few times before but she always talks to me still, even if it is short texts etc.
Do I just leave her for a while to let her come to her sences?
Cheers.

I'd move on personally. I know 'age doesnt matter' and 'it can work', which of course it can but longterm the reality is 20 years down the line the situation may become a lot more problematic. Get out and enjoy your young life with young people  |

Typically (google told me) when people are stressed, depressed, or unhappy in any way, they get the urge to 'just get away from it all', and have fanciful ideas of packing their things up and just going to a whole new life and it being a magical utopia on the other side.
I kind of had these sorts of ideas after 4ish years in the worst job of my life. General boredom, no sense of control or direction, every day seems utterly pointless, hence thoughts of escape seem wonderful. Maybe she's in a similar frame of mind? |
This is definitely on the mark. I have exactly the same feeling quite often when I'm feeling particularly stressed and plenty of friends have experienced the same thing.
I don't actually think it's all that irrational either, living in the same place for a while means a lot of familiarity. Same friendship groups, work environment, memories of places you've been and events, that sort of thing.
Plus, regardless of whether the new place is a utopia, it's still new and shiny.
If it were me, I'd be as supportive as possible with her move and tell her that if she thinks it's the best thing for her then you'll be happy. Whether you actually feel that way or not. It sounds as if she's going through quite a hard time.
It's quite a common thing at University, people spend three, four, more years here, and move away for work. If couples can't agree on where to go, or if job offers are in radically different places, there is no real solution other than to just call it a day, because there is no compromise - one person would have to move to somewhere they don't really want to go. |
