This has been one of my issues with her for a while. She comes off as needy/whiny/emotional. She is REALLY into me unfortunately, but I cannot deal with her headcase issues and how she acts. It brings a side of anger that I don't like to show to people.
Good for you buddy.

The worst possible thing you could have done is apologize profusely to her. If she has the audacity to tell you to "just go home" then she clearly feels like she can say just about anything to you.

Tons of other women out there.

You should never feel as if you have to "walk on eggshells" with any woman.

Find one that knows how to talk properly to a man.

Too many weak men out here tolerating disrespect.

Leave her to the wolves.

I fixed that for you. It's got nothing to do with "women talking to men properly," and everything to do with her learning how to comport herself in public.

I didn't mean to come off as sexist in my OP if I did. I was just speaking from a man's perspective.

Also some of the things I've "tolerated" in the past was her swearing and name calling when she was upset. I have not dealt with that in previous relationships but I'm not a weak guy, I just overlooked it.

I didn't think you were being sexist. USAMathman's post did seem a little bit sexist, but he may not have intended it that way.

No need to fix anything.

I said exactly what I wanted to say.

She doesn't know how to talk to a man. It has everything to do with the OP situation.

THERE IS a right and a wrong way to talk to your man.

She told the guy to leave and that is exactly what he did.

Good job once again OP for standing your ground and sticking to your principles.

In my opinion...Women respect that more than anything.

Rep for you buddy. I find it comical how certain types want to make everything gender neutral. Guess what, we're different, think differently, biologically different , and experience the world in vastly different ways.

You may or may not need to fix your listening skills.


However, if somebody tells me "You can just go home", I would get up without saying anything else and leave.

It sounds like that's what he did, everyone has their own ways of doing it, when I hear my mother on the phone, most of her responses are of the 'mmhmm' variety, which is similar to the OP, so many women do that too when listening to a long story or issue. I think it's more her than him in this case.

Really, previous relationships I have not dealt with this much 'drama'.

Sure I've had arguments, been called an a-hole once or twice, but this woman sets the record.
You said it yourself in the original post, but it looks like you're torn on this issue as well.
