Im dating this girl and had really high hopes for the relationship in the beginning...i treat this girl like a queen...do a ton for her...and she admits her faults...she has actually been trying to do better, but yesterday it went bad again supposedly because she started a liquid diet for a surgery...none the less...she called and left a long message that she NEEDED me to be somewhere, i called back and asked what time she needed me...she got upset that i didnt remember what time, and said she doesnt think i listen to her all the time...i got upset because i couldnt believe she could get upset at something so petty, i just do so much for her and sometimes feel un appreciated...none the less she apologized. The thing is she realizes her faults, and will apologize, but i just honestly dont know what i think.

How do you know when its time to end something?

Thanks a lot.

even if sometimes she says you are so good to me...and that she is sorry if she doesnt act like it all the time...etc...i think she means well and cares about me but just has some issues.

Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks a lot.

If someone tells you that they are sorry, for the way they have behaved, usually, you can tell if they mean it, or just blowing smoke.
You will know, when its time. Just convince yourself, and you will be fine.
Her issues? Well, that should have nothing to do with you. Something that she needs to work on.

When you make threads like this.....She's playing you like a clown, get rid of her and find someone that will reciprocate your goodness.

I'd say you know right now. Deep down in your gut, you know...or you wouldn't be here posting about it.

Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.

Love is important, obviously. But so is compatibility. And it reads to me as if her behavior isn't compatible with what you need out of a relationship. A person -- like this girl -- can still be a basically good person and not be a good fit. I know people say that relationships are work, and they are...to an extent. But you shouldn't have to constantly bend over backwards to accommodate another person, or be made to feel as if you are somehow deficient because you're not measuring up to whatever standards she has set.

Someone said this already, but I'll repeat. If you have to post a question like this, chances are better than average that you need to think about calling it quits.

Step #1: Stop treating the girls like "queens." It just sets you up to be walked all over.

Step #2: Give this woman an ultimatum to quit playing these high school mind games and act like a big girl.

Step #3: Leave if she doesn't get her act together. You could also do this if you just don't feel like putting up with her anymore.

Again, ladies and gentlemen, this is not rocket science. People will treat you the way you demand to be treated. She's not going to be stop this if you let her throw these tantrums and then coddle her the second she apologizes. Be a man, and let her know you're not going to tolerate this.
