Blog Thread, my girlfriend is driving me up the wall.
Don't get me wrong, she has the capacity to be very sweet and caring.
She also has the capacity to be very hurtful. Apparently I am a "typical sexist male" or somesuch entity through these events:
Over Sunday and Monday, she texted me, while I had no phone credit. She was aware of this and made comment to that effect. She just wanted to talk to me. Aw. On Tuesday, when I got credit, I texted her. She was doing homework, and since it's her final year of high school, made a comment to the effect of her homework taking priority over me. I felt that this was fair enough, but it was still a little hurtful. To express myself, I changed my Facebook status to "brushed off in favour of homework". The first comment was a friend who said, "smack the bitch".
I responded with "she smacks back". I thought this implied that she was not the sort who was going to put up with bullshit such as smacking bitches and would not hesitate to retaliate were I to engage in such idiocy. She read it as me being displeased with the capacity of a female to strike back at a male, rather than me being displeased with being smacked.
Thus begins a series of text messages where she, in the same message, called me a "typical male" AND accused me of being sexist. I called her out on this bullshit, and she claimed that it was a stereotype that I was fulfilling. Displeased with her dropping the ball on this particular issue, my response was simply, "Okay, sure".
This comes after an episode where she claims that I was too physically oriented whenever we met, so I decide that we should meet outside of a setting that implied physical intimacy and talk. Apparently wanting to wait until we actually met was some kind of cardinal sin - she wanted to know what I was planning to talk about right then and there. I was hanging with a friend at the time, and told her so, so I wasn't inclined to speak, even over text, at that time. Apparently this wasn't good enough, and she made comments to the effect of apathy for my desire to speak of what was on my mind.
Blog Thread, every time I try to alleviate the concerns or desires of my girlfriend, she just becomes irritated. This, is turn, makes me feel awful. I'm not really asking for advice - just being self-pitying.
