Today, after months of patiently trying to help my girlfriend deal with her anger issues, she dumped me in a blind rage for sneezing. FML

To be honest, sounds like you dodged a bullet with that one.

It seems a career in psychiatry or psychology is not in your future ... In all seriousness, you are lucky to be out of that relationship; with such anger issues, it could easily have become abusive, if it was not already so.

A simple "gesundheit" would have sufficed

that specific sneeze could be described as an "anti-psychotic"

As being somebody who deals with emotional/mental problems literally on a daily basis I can emphasise and associate with this girl. Note 'blind rage', this girl was in no control over what she said and I bet now severely regrets it. Emotional and mental problems are very often swept under the carpet and avoided by most. Don't get me wrong, I can see why. I never understand why my partner stays with me. However, he does and because of that I am (excruciatingly slowly) getting better or at least understanding more. If OP is not strong enough to manage a relationship with such problems then leaving is the best option otherwise it'd be poisonous for both involved. If an understanding is developed of her needs and issues, a Dr is introduced into the mix and there's love (true love) from both sides (not the Dr mind) then things aren't always as final as they seem. I'm open to everyone's interpretation to this situation and do not wish to antagonise or argue, I'm merely basing my opinion upon myself. :)

You might want to reread the post. He was trying to help her and she dumped him. read more carefully next time to avoid looking like a fool.

Yes thank you. I know exactly what the post said and what I said in my message, if you wish to reread it, is that if he isn't strong enough then to get out and that she probably regretted saying it. thank you for making me feel like a twat. appreciate it. nasty little message there.

Thoughtful comment there. As long as no one stays in the relationship out of guilt, it can work. In general though, every partner has to make sure they are taking care of themselves. No shame in not being able to roll with serious mental issues. It may be the healthiest thing for OP to walk away. Sometimes that is what propels someone to get professional help they need.

"this girl was in no control over what she said and I bet now severely regrets it" Bet you wouldn't say that about a wife-beater that regrets it every time he or she beats their partner. Abuse is abuse and it should never be tolerated, even if it's supposedly not in the person's control. Which it definitely is.

Geez what a psycho. Glad she decided to rage quit the relationship before it ended up getting abusive.

Maybe it was for the best. Who knows how long before it became physical and she attacked you.

Sorry OP, I know how you feel. Something similar happened to me, except mine had crossed the line into being a bit abusive, not physically but still. I was sad for a bit but realized I'm much better off without her. It sounds like you're much better off without this relationship as well, good luck.

As to paraphrase one of my favourite videos: "Look what you did, Ron!" "Oh I'm not allowed to sneeze?"

Wow and I thought I had anger issues. My boyfriend has a nagging cough because of his asthma, and it annoys the ever loving shit out of me. But I would never dump him over it, that's just insane.
