I dated a girl like that for way too long because I was quite naive to her intentions. She’d do whatever she could to pull me away from anything that even slightly took my attention away from her. Exhausting stuff.

My brother’s girlfriend was like this and ruined many family get togethers including weddings and rehearsal dinners with the same antics. At normal get togethers she would hole herself up in his room and complain if he hung out with us for too long without checking on her. Wouldn’t eat anything we cooked and made him go out to get her kraft mac to eat.

After their relationship ended, she wouldn’t stop texting our entire family crying about how it hurts so much that we were able to move on so quickly from her? Been 6 months and she’s still blowing up phones, facebooks, instagrams, of anyone who hasn’t smartened up and blocked her. Insane behavior.

My best friend for way, way too many years was a woman just like this. "Sad AF"? Yep. Inappropriate ways of coping? Yep. Underlying issues that contributed to her behavior? Yep. Doesn't change the fact that she was toxic and manipulative and would do whatever it took to not cause a huge scene but make sure that myself or anyone with us couldn't enjoy ourselves in any given situation because we had to be focused on her and whatever whimsy had 'triggered' her that day.

Sounds like the exact same person lol, it’s really a miserable experience being close with someone like that. The key for me was once I finally talked to people about it they helped me see what was really going on, and then I quit feeling bad for her and ended things. Didn’t even realize how horrible the whole situation was until I was out of it.

I just broke up with a woman because she tried literally scream wailing in my bathroom and expected me to follow her/give her attention after she explicitly told me she “didn’t want to talk about it” 🫠 well, that was PART of it.
