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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 her approach and wording was off, but she may have a legitimate reason. I've had exes tell me they were in love with me within three days and smother me. That's off putting and made me feel claustrophobic in the relationship and pressured to reciprocate feelings that I wasn't comfortable with. Maybe what she meant is cool down a little. The best thing to do is talk it out with her in more detail, and make sure the both of you understand precisely what the other means. Best of luck!

better off dumping her.

She's dumping you. :-(

The question here is: why does she feel she has to match you? If you're expecting her to return every gesture, then YDI, but otherwise, maybe you should both relax a little.

Your girlfriend is taking the "give and take" aspect of your relationship far too literal...I'd suggest merely a step back before making any rash decisions; just a thought.

Everyone is saying to dump her that she doesn't care about you, Personally i think she is feeling a little pressured. Yes it sounds selfish but in my relationship, both of us equally feel extremely guilty if the other spends more than 5$ on the other. Maybe if you are spending a lot of money and such on her she feels like she has to spend the same amount to not seem cheap even though she does love you. I am terrible at explaining things but i'm seeing another side to this story.

She did not say anything about about buying gifts. She is saying that his love for her is beyond her love for him. Should never ask your significant other to hold back how they feel.

Maybe they are only a couple days/weeks into the relationship and OP is already very loving and the girlfriend isn't ready to reciprocate. that's a very awkward situation and the girlfriend might feel pressured.

Then you my friend have one shitty girlfriend wich deserves nothing less then to be alone for the rest of her pathetic life

She deserves to be alone for the rest of her life because she voiced her opinion about their relationship? You have a pathetic life if you think like that.

I'm sorry if I ofend anyone, but I have found myself have to ask my ex this same thing. When I think about it now, I should have just told him that I didn't feel the same way. He told me that he was in love with me after a few days, and at first I thought he was just being funny. I shouldn't have stayed with him for so long, but I didn't want to leave him. I felt guilty for not loving him back like he loved me.
