My girlfriend and I have been together for quite a while now and even live with each other. I love her very much and I know she loves me as well. The one negative thing about her is how much she complains. She literally complains about anything and everything e v e r y d a y. 95% of what she complains about doesn’t even pertain to our relationship. I don’t even know how she finds the energy to complain this much. I used to try and give her my opinion and advice, but all that would do is cause her to complain more. Now when she complains I don’t say anything anymore because I just get annoyed. Then she complains about that.
Bad day at work? Complains.
Too many people around her? Complains.
Traffic when I’m in the car with her? Complains.
Minor conflict with her family? Complains.
Too hot or cold outside? Complains.
Sleeps past her alarm? Complains.
Chooses to not do anything all day? Complains about how she should’ve done something.
Wind blowing the wrong way? Complains.
Drops something? Complains.
Trips over her own foot? Complains.
Can’t hear her when she says something to me? Complains.
I could go on and on, but you get the point. I don’t even know what to do now. I’m tired of hearing her say how she’s sick of her life. I’m mentally exhausted. I feel myself just going insane. I obviously want it to work out and I’ve suggested therapy. She said she would, but hasn’t done anything yet.
Is there really anything I can do about this?
