    I have been involved with someone for a couple of months and she is a lovely person. As time goes on, like in all relationships, personalities come out. Although the loveliness of her remains I have witnessed a side that is concerning. I have never seen someone get so mad that their face turned as red as a tomatoe. She was very angry on day and came towards me, standing over me and instructing me I was not going to do a certain behavior again. I can respect the fact that I can do annoying things at times but I asked her to please sit down, lower her voice and talk to me in a respectful manner. It took a while but she did do two of those actions. I also find her jokes some what hurtful at times and somewhat insulting.

    I have always thought that love is kind and why would you want to hurt someone. I understand sometimes we(self included) that we say things that are not always mindful of the other person but I think it is important to talk about it. I have done this and everyday I make her cry. I was once told I am too sensitive but I have never met anyone who reacts with anger so quickly or takes it to heart. I guess I question if there is something wrong with me. It would seem the last couple of relationships I have been in have been so strange.

    Thoughts?:)

    Hi Ringoo,

    I’m sorry to hear about your confusion. I believe that each person in a relationship has a responsibility to be kind, respectful and to afford the other person the freedom to be completely honest about their feelings. We are all ultimately responsible for our own happiness. And sometimes we put too much pressure on the other person to fill voids in our own hearts. That does not mean that we should tolerate hurtful behavior from the people in our lives. …doing that would not be mean practicing love and respect toward ourselves.

    Can you give me a few examples of some situations that have puzzled you in your last couple of relationships? Maybe I can give you a woman’s perspective.

    Take care,
    Annie
