Are we not meant to be?

Im 25 years old next month, my Live in Girlfriend ive been with for 5 months is 18 years old. I love her and she has lots of great quality's but she acts like a little kid some times. she throws fits and screams and cries and kicks her feet on the bed and expects me to come to her when she acts this way. her defense to being wrong in an argument is to cry and then after a while she tries to call me to her. this time i let her fit run its course and she gave up and stormed out because i didnt give in. thats where im at right now. anyone else have this problem or do i just need to find a girl closer to my age?

    this is how she would act with her parents to get her will and she continues that behaviour. talk to her first and tell her that when you have an argument you want to talk it through as the two adults you are. if is doesnt work, maybe you would be looking for someone more mature. someone can be 18 and already mature but your gf does not seem to be.

    Well, I'm not going to insult the girl, because I know you love her and insulting her will just make you offended.

    Maturity isn't the same thing as age, people. Maturity is how people act. People can be around thirty years old (even if the chances are slim) and still be immature.

    If you start to feel a little annoyed or angry at her fits, tell her. If she stops, then I think you two can go on. If she continues, tell her a little more sternly. If she continues after you have to tell her multiple times, I think it's time you break up.

    I mean really, if she continues throwing fits after you've told her a couple times, then that pretty much means she has no respect for you or your feelings whatsoever, and she thinks she can do whatever the hell she wants to do and get away with it.

    It's probably an age thing. Unless she's an unusually mature 18 year old, she's probably not ready to be living with a man 7 years older than her. She doesn't know how to communicate effectively yet because she's a teenager. Probably best to find someone else or take things really slow with her- she just needs more time to mature.

  • Have you talked to her about this? She probably just wants some attention ... which is sad, but a lot of the times people throw meaningless fits to get attention. Either that or she's really truly messed up. Let her know that she cant keep throwing these fits over nothing and expecting you to read her mind every time she gets upset. If she cant learn to respect you then its time to find someone new.

    She's 18 years old. In case you missed that, she's 18 years old. I'm only 22 and I can't even stand being around 18 year old girls. Its a maturity thing, they're still stuck in high school drama and idiocy, you are (hopefully) working on your future. Find someone who's on your maturity level

    You should find a girl that is more mature. She sounds like she acts like shes 10

    umm she could be acting like a kid sometimes because she is a kid, what are you doing dating someone 7 years younger than you who is not even fully mature or an adult yet? you could to better and enough is enough. tell her to grow up and take charge! your older after all. its time she faces reality.

    You should probablyl figure this out for yourself, and you should probably talk to her. If you love her then you should work through your problems, but if you are over it I would find someone closer to my age.

  • Age doesn't matter in your case. I just think you should talk to her about it. Say that you love her and you want her to find ways to handle her problems differently. Try to be nice about it. If things don't work out and your not happy.... i think you know what that means. But just try to talk through it. Ask her kindly to do it differently.

    She's old enough and her behavior is probably what has always gotten her attention. I would not expect her to change so unless you want this woman to be a mother to your children, I'd move on.
