Yeah the more I think about it I can't think of any reason why they should stay together so I agree

Okay, here's the deal: You two are way too young to be in a relationship anyway...I know you FEEL grown...I married at 22 and I certainly felt grown...but the truth is you are going to change immensely during your 20s anyway...

You need to consider breaking up, so that you BOTH can get some maturity under your belt, and also start resolving the issues you both currently have.

I truly wouldn't advise anyone to think of marriage or co-habitation before one's late 20s at the very earliest...I realize this goes against the norm, but experience has shown me that relationships begun early in our lives seldom last, not because couples don't love each other, but because they are not yet mature enough to sustain that relationship. Give her a break...and both of you get going on living the lives young 20-somethings should be enjoying ... good luck.

Sounds like you have a lot of growing up to do. You need to learn how to keep your emotions in check when you get angry and not go punching walls. She may be behaving badly but that doesn't give you the right to behave the way you do and then pass the blame on to her. Perhaps you should look into the concept of personal responsibility.

When you are patching a wall you punched, don't you feel pretty pathetic?
Then you're pathetic.

She's a woman!! They all make us crazy at least once a month!! What, is this your first rodeo?

Come on man!! It's obvious you guys are not working so you should end it.

She sounds very insecure and I can appreciate how exhausting that must be for you. Have you tried communicating with her when she isn't upset? When you're both calm? She might not realise how close you are to breaking up with her over the issue.

You seem to have anger issues. Punching holes into walls is not cool, no matter how angry you are.

She needs someone who can give her positive reinforcements, to help her move beyond her insecurities about herself. Someone who's willing and able to do this with her. That's not you. You're one of the least empathetic people I've seen in a while. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it definitely isn't what she needs right now. In short - you're making her miserable.

You need someone secure in their looks, someone who doesn't mind you viewing porn sites, heck - someone who'll search internet booty shots with you. That isn't her right now...and it may never be her. Just because she's beautiful, doesn't mean she's the right person for you. If you love her, you need to love ALL of her...and your lack of understanding tells me that's not ever going to happen.

The best thing you guys can do is to move on and find people that are better suited for each of you. And you need to get a grip on your anger problem, because it's NOT normal to be punching holes in walls. Do it before you start punching someone instead.

Yesterday was my last day before I had to work a long ****ty week out of town in the middle of nowhere. All I wanted was to relax. I woke up happy and then she just dragged me down and ruined my day. Is that not selfish as hell of her?

Ask any guy on this earth if that ever happened to them.

There's days I wish I was working in the middle of nowhere.

Just end it.

Dude, you really need to learn more about eating disorders and body image issues. Sure, your girlfriend's problem may not make sense to you, but most mental illnesses don't from the outside. She needs to better learn how to cope with her issues, but if you actually love her, you need to learn how to not trigger them and to make her feel worse.
