Is this relationship healthy?

First off she's been diagnosed with a personality disorder years ago, she calls it depression though. I found this out half way through the relationship during her first outburst. She got real snarky with me after a fun filled weekend on the river. And demanded I leave her house as she didn't have the spirits to deal with me right now. This happened because on the drive home I wished the river was a bit lower, and she called that 'being negative'. This has so far happened quite a few times, me being demanded to leave. The things that get her to demand me to leave are; me asking 'what', when I didn't hear her while driving, me chewing loudly while famished, me asking about her friends (in a non-interrogative way).

After I get ordered to leave, I feel shitty. Then later I'm yelled at for not spending enough time with her. We work opposite shifts leaving the weekends and lunches open. She tells me that I have to change my schedule to reflect hers, and I really can't do that.

I end up getting more aggravated when I can never seem to make her happy. But then in the same sentence she tells me I'm 'her everything' and that she needs me. I love her and don't want to hurt her but I don't feel like I'm the guy for her.

Last year her brother died of cancer and every day she goes on about how she is so depressed about him dying. She goes on and on about how awful and nasty his last hours were. I suggested to her that she think more about the good times that they had together and she responded that they weren't very close, and infact he was an asshole to her. Which confused me thoroughly.

Right now we're having a break. I told her I couldn't stand to be snapped at randomly about the things that I do. She told me if I didn't want to get snapped at I'd not annoy her. I felt that was abusive tactics and left. I want to go back to her, but at the same time I worry this is just the tip of the iceberg. I would have a life filled with me feeling crappy about who I am.

    Does she take medicine? I hope so but she may need to switch meds because it doesn't sound like it's working. Being annoyed all the time is depression.

    I don't know if she has a personality disorder or not but she sure is controlling and mean. You are not the guy for her. Possibly no one is, at least not now. She should not have gotten into a relationship with you. She needs to be alone so she doesn't hurt anyone. She is not capable of maintaining a caring relationship with you. Anyone who can't deal with their boyfriend is on the edge.

    Asking you to change your shift when you're not married really takes the cake. I'm sorry about her brother but that is her issue and she should get professional help to work that out.

    I'm so glad you're not together right now. She feels like crap and she'll make you feel the same. You have put up with too much already. No one should be ordered to leave over such a minor infraction. After she gets her mental illness treated she needs to seriously develop some social skills. Again, not your problem. I would run for the hills and not look back.

    This is in no way a good relationship. no one should every make you feel so horrible. She sounds very selfish and manipulative. I hope things get better for you. Good luck! :)
