Today, my girlfriend asked me not to love her so much, so she doesn't have to try so hard to match my love for her. What the fuck? FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend told me to stop saying "I love you" so much because it's starting to annoy her. FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend why she can't treat me like the way I treat her. She said, "because you love me more than I love you." FML
Today, my girlfriend tearfully complained that I was smothering her to death with my clinginess, and that I should learn to respect her boundaries. This is after she complained I wasn't giving her enough attention. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me. As everything was ending, I tried to save the relationship by telling her how much I cared about her. Her response? "Please stop. You're gonna make me feel bad." FML
Today, my girlfriend had a complete breakdown. I was trying to calm her down and reassure her that she will accomplish all of her dreams. Her response: "Then why am I even with you?" FML
Today, my girlfriend and I were playfully arguing about who loved the other more. After about a minute of this, my girlfriend walked over and kicked me in the crotch as hard as she could. She then said, "There, now you don't love me as much. I win." FML
Today, my partner of 4 years has told me that trying to be emotionally present and initiate affection from time to time is too much of a change for them to handle. I wish they had said that the first time I brought it up, instead of stringing me along. Oh, but they "love me". Just not enough to be a better person. FML
Today, my girlfriend of over a year broke up with me. Two weeks ago she complained that I didn't act like I really loved her. I then became more involved and caring just for her to show my love. The reason she broke up with me? Because I was "suffocating her with clinginess." FML
Today, I told my girlfriend of two years that I love her. She replied, "Um, I don't mean to be rude, but can you just shut up?" FML
Today, my girlfriend of 3 weeks gave me an ultimatum: marry her, or she kills herself. FML

That may be a valid reason to end the relationship. You don't want a relationship where the love isn't mutual.

Maybe you're pushing too hard, and you're at the early stages of the relationship, and she's not ready to return those feelings? Maybe she just couldn't word it correctly. I wouldn't say break up with her. I'd say try to discuss it, and see where the issues lie, and if there really isn't any hope of your love being mutual, then that would be the time to end it and move on.

maybe that's her way of saying calm down some and don't smother her?

So maybe she wouldn't catch a grenade for him.

#1 took the words right out of my mouth! She might feel smothered.

Or to find it easier to break-up?! I doubt this is a healthy relationship.

Bro, maybe she was just joking?

You, my dear friend, are what we like to call "The Reacher" while your girlfriend is normally referred to as "The Settler". I am sorry.

I always heard it as the pursuer/chaser and the settler. interesting though. Yeah, OP sometimes giving your person a little space is the best way to get them to adore you more.
Puffpie 24
How I met your mother!
SiraSiemens 21
what are you in your relationship reacher or settler?

Dump her ass.

A simple talk about the situation will do at this point. A break up now would be kinda harsh.
UhHuhHoney 20
Not loving the person back is harsh already, why talk to the person? Trying to force the person to love you back is a waste of time.
supernerd95 17
well.. she didn't say that she didn't love him back. She just said that she finds it hard to catch up with him in terms of love.
Vivi99 12
That sounds weird.
cheeeksss 29
For some reason I can't imagine one saying this seriously. Maybe she was joking? Girls like teasing their guy once in a while :3

Not like that...

It's an unhealthy relationship if your gf doesn't appreciate your love for her. I mean if you're putting forth most of the effort into the relationship and not having the same amount of effort be reciprocated...you might wanna question if she's even worth your time.
DjeePee 25
Nowhere do I read that she doesn't appreciate his love. My guess is that's she's afraid that she can't give the same amount of love she receives and feels pretty guilty about it, like, that she's losing in a competive 'who loves who more' match. Perhaps OP tries too hard to be perfect and she can't compete with it?

I agree, 27. Relationships are not competitions, but sometimes it tends to feel that way in an unhealthy relationship. I don't think she's a bad person but I would understand why OP would want to break up with her. I wouldn't want to be with someone who loved me a lot less than I loved them. OP shouldn't be forced to be with someone who doesn't share the same feelings, and his girlfriend shouldn't be forced to be with someone who she thinks is overwhelming/clingy. Just my two cents.

All three of you are right.

#28, OP didn't say anything about wanting to break up with her.
False_Stupidity 42
Maybe OP just spoils her more and shows his love in more measurable ways, it may not mean that she loves him less necessarily but it's less measurable so she is feeling a bit smothered with love. I tend to get that way with my wife, I tend to spoil her a lot more than she spoils me but I know that she loves me at least as much but shows it in different ways.
soulreaper12296 28
Or #9, it's her way of saying OP is putting forward to much making her feel smothered and that's her way of letting them know.
