womens point of view // marriage // divorce?

Just want some opinions.

My gf accused me checking out women on Facebook ( it was a tagged photo from people who were being made fun of so I clicked to be nosy and an old friend went through her profile pictures to see how she's doing though I never liked her or don't find her attractive whats so ever) That is all. My intentions were to never "check out" women, I was just being nosy and seeing who they were making fun of "i even clicked guys photos"

She called text me saying she was packing leaving go to her moms house (we live together) she went crying over there and told her mom and sister what happened about our problems. Obviously I am embarrassed and now feel their family is being judgmental after the family telling her that's how men are this and that. I am actually super faithful; never cheated, I don't even flirt with women; to that matter, I don't even eye flirt with women. But it just gave me so much doubts now and wanting to leave her after crying and telling her family everything.

any opinions? I mean I am so frustrated. I normally don't tell my problems, but now, wow, I feel embarrassed and judgmental after she told her family (and obviously family and friend will side with her)

    It sounds like she has her own jealousy hang ups and insecurities. I'm not going to choose sides, but if you did what you claimed you did and nothing more, she's trying to manipulate you and make you feel sorry for her. She's totally screwing with your head dude.

    As other has said, she seems jealous and insecure. However, I disagree that it is all her problem. As a couple, if she has a problem, it is also your problem, and visa versa.

    You need to sit down and talk with her - things generally only get resolved when people sit down and talk openly about what is really going on. The key is to be totally honest, even if it hurts, and also to QUIETLY listen to what the other person is saying (so often we don't listen - we hear one statement we don't like, completely blow up, changing the whole direction of where the conversation is going and miss the chance at reconciliation).

    First ground rule that should be set is that your problems as a couple stay between the two of you - not discussed with family and friends!

    Second, try to find out why she feels insecure - you might not like her answer because most likely she is going to blame something you have done..people who are upset usually try to blame others. We all do it.. it will take patience on both your part, to get this talked through.. but persevere!

    One last comment - I have been married for 28 years. Sometimes it has been really rocky, and I have thought we were done on two occasions. But, we did what I mentioned above - each were brutally honest about what was wrong in our relationship - it is a hard thing to do, to be honest at times, but it is the only way to clear the air. And our marriage has NEVER been so good as it is now! We are stronger than ever. We really KNOW we can trust each other, because we've gone through bad times and worked it out - it gives you faith in each other - I know he won't leave me, and he knows I am here to stay.. We are happy. If a couple chooses divorce, what is the lesson learned? You take all your baggage, that you have never dealt with, into your next relationship, and it doesn't work either.. the divorced people I know, are not happier, than when they were married.

    If you stay married, you have a shot at finding happiness in your marriage.. do all YOU can to stay together..

    She's jealous and insecure because of something. I wouldn't be embarrassed because it sounds like you really didn't do anything wrong. I think everyone on facebook is curious if someone, either what they've been up to, If they have a family, etc.

    Give her time to calm down then talk to her about it. If you've never cheated on her or you've never given her a reason to doubt you then this should be an easy resolution.

  • relationships that don't air their relationship to others ( with in reason of course) are the ones that last. airing dirty laundry is the worst thing she could have done. i agree that she seems to be jealous and is making this into way more than it should've ever been. in all honesty it seems like she was looking for a reason to fight and leave. i love my friends but i still am honest. hopefully she will have someone to do the same and tell or show her how immature she is being. best of luck!

    Well at least now you know HOW she is going to react if you had any sort of REAL problems. I mean this doesn't sound so absolutely terrible as to pack up and run back home. I think you better re-think living with her. I think maybe you need to just be single and date. Imagine if you were married to her - marriage is alot of ups and downs and compromise!!! She needs to learn to compromise and work at the relationship. Not run.

    She needs to stay home with mommy and daddy awhile longer.

    I think many relationships break down over internet stuff. It is easy to misunderstand, and truly know what people's intentions are. Especially when it comes to the opposite sex.

    Your girlfriend is really insecure and jealous. She should get her acts together before she runs back to you. Tell her to fix her issues or you'll never have healthy relationship.
