I dont know if any other women out there do this but my girlfriend says this from time to time: "We've been going out for how long now babe and you still dont know what's bothering me?" I dont mean to sound like a bad boyfriend, but, she goes through so many different mood swings it's hard to keep track of what kind of mood she's in. I'm not psychic and i really do wish i was. Ladies, is there a secret in finding out whats going on? When I ask if anything is wrong she says nothings wrong and yet you can see it on her face that something is wrong. If i try and investigate she gets angry and if I dont investigate its: "You suck, you didnt even try to find out what is wrong!" Is there a something I can do to avoid the argument the next time this happens?

I am female, but I was brought up in an all male family except for Mom and me (4 Brothers and a Father), but she was brought up with all males except for her Mom and her (5 Brothers and a Father).

When women pull that on me, I tell them I'm not a mind reader, they either want me to talk to them or they don't. We all have mood swings because of hormones fluctuating as females, but if something is wrong, I can't telepathically figure out another female either. So either she wants to tell me or she wants to play games. I'm glad I like men.

I'd set some ground rules if I were you, a person who tells you, "You suck!" isn't behaving very maturely and calling you names. What about respect for you? Would she tolerate that from you? I hope not.

Personally, my husband knows that sometimes I'm in the mood to talk about what's bothering me and sometimes I'm not. If he thinks something is wrong, he tells me he's there for me when I'm ready to talk. You can't force her to talk when she doesn't want to, but you can let her know you are there for her when she feels like talking. If she can't deal with that, then it's time to get a different and more mature girlfriend. One that's up to your maturity level. Also, there are times when we cry or have problems just because our hormones are changing rapidly and it's nothing anyone did or said. If my husband waits long enough I feel better and I just tell him, "Well that mood swing is over!"

Thanks for the input. Yeah I've used the mind reader bit once or twice myself. She's a really great person and she has a heart of gold. The "YOU SUCK" bit is usually a more playfull gesture. In some cases she does mean in it in a spitefull manner and I do remind her that that type of thinking isn't a very mature one. Thanks for the advice on waiting patiently and letting her know I'm there when she's ready to talk. I never took that approach before. I usually ask her to tell me and if she doesn't then I'll ask again in about an hour or so. I can see the flaw in methodology now. Thanks WRITESEDGE.

Quoted for truth and seconded.
Its basically another no-win scenario. "Greaaaaaat..."/sarcasm -_-
Some women will tell you what is wrong though, others though expect you to always know what is wrong on cue. Its bizzare. Some of this stems from "signals" but with all sorts of communication the signals can be misread by the recipient or missent by the communicator. Plus its an ambiguous and vague way of communicating at times, so misunderstandings or no understanding of what's going on is a real possibility. Maybe someone else can shed more light on this, but my experience could still be of some assistance to you.

As for your situation Ghost, it does seem like your partner is being immature and difficult on this. If you try to find out what happens, she says "you suck". If you don't try to find out what happened or what's wrong, she complains. If you ask "what's wrong", she says "nothing". Nice sick-cycle carrousel eh...Again, no-win situation here. I do not think you'll be able to avoid arguments like this from the sound of it. Its disheartening too since it sounds like a lot of this is frivolous and she's just keeping it in so she can use it as a weapon against you. I'd just drop the whole thing and leave. I use to think I had to tolerate nonsense like this. Not anymore, and never again. I'd recommend the same to others.


ghostking684 (5)   ranked 222 out of 3,606 in lover  5 years ago

I know what you mean by how bizzare their behavior can be. One thing that has kept me steadfast is the fact that i love this woman and I share my heart with her. Yes it can be frustrating and it can get mundane at times but we do share that level of maturity in our relationship, even if at times it doesnt reflect in our actions or words. Thank you for the advice though. It's always a bonus to get insight from different personal experiences.

it is really hard to say. I am a woman but not so much down at any moment so that anyone can't tell for what I am so much down.But you can notice very minutely for what she is happy and for what she is sad. Also check when she gets annoyed. I think this way you can guess well.

Hope you dont mind a responce from a guy but I always say the basis of a good relationship is communication, you say even if you ask her what's wrong and she say's nothing but the look on her face say's yes there is something wrong and then she lay's into you later and tell you that you didn't even try to find out, yeah there's something wrong there. Sounds to me like you are not ment for each other.

Here is some advice from a man, lol.
Women crave or desire a lot of attention. When you see her, exclaim, "Wow, you look so beautiful!" it works out well for her, even if you do not mean it, but you don't have to show it that you don't mean it. Act well.
As you see her sawgger towards you, let her reach you, then you move to her ear and whisper, Ï love the way you walk, babe."
This and many complements really make them feel cool.
On the other side, try also to be interested in whatever she likes. Be attentive to her conversations and learn to know her mood swings. That way you get to have the power to even change her moods.
Good luck.

From a woman with a lot of years of experience with relationships, from me to you, my best advice to you is probably not going to be something considered good.
You are right. You are not a mind reader and she sounds like she has a few issues she could work on. How can anyone know how to fix something if they don't know it's broken. If she doesn't have the courage or state of mind to be honest and open - to tell you what she likes or dislikes - then you are most likely in a no win situation.
I don't like using this example but for instance, how can a man know what a woman likes in bed, or in any other situation, if she doesn't tell him. A man could do something for years thinking the woman he loves enjoys that special touch, only to find out years later she hated it. The only way anyone can ever know about things like this is to ask, hoping the other person will be honest. Another way is to live in misery for 40 years. Trust me, it's much easier just to be honest. If you're with someone who can't be honest with her own feelings, can she be honest with you in other areas?
Without blame and without making her feel she's wrong, (we women hate that), you need to be as honest with her as you want her to be with you. Tell her you can't know what bothers her if she doesn't be honest and tell you.
Don't be a bully or anything, but don't let her make your feel like dirt either. Ah - what a world if we could all be mind readers. NOT

Well, maybe I'm not the best one to give this advice since I'm short on patience, but it sounds like a head game to me. How do you find out?

Well (assuming your girl isn't on/doesn't need medication for chemical imbalances of the brain), I would tell her that I love her, but a mind reader I am not, and since it is a mind reader that she seems to need, you are packing your stuff.

If she stops you from packing, she probably needs some meds; if she doesn't stop you from packing, she is probably getting the end result she desires from playing the headgame.

Good luck, King.

Sometimes we as women get hurt by the actions of the men that we love. As a result we sometimes believe that the man that we love is less trustworthy. If he hurt us in the first place can we trust him enough to tell him what it was that he did that harmed us? Could we be making ourselves more vulnerable to being hurt again if we tell you what's wrong? As we grow and as the relationship grows we begin to realize that you're exactly right ... you're not a mind reader (we wish you were though). We also realize that you're not perfect, that you will do things that hurt us and if you're the man that we hope that you are you didn't hurt us intentionally. Once we realize that we know that we can tell you what upset us and believe that you're the type of man that will work hard to not harm us again. Perhaps you'll never realize how much we desire your protection, your love, your admiration and how crushed we are when we feel as though our "protector and lover" has harmed us.

Good luck, you'll need it.

Us women think that men can read our minds.We really know you can't but we'd like to think that you know us so well
that you can just know what the problem is.It is so agrivating that you can't figure it out on your own that we're not
going to tell you if you ask.Whenever you ask we say nothing is wrong when something is really wrong.Take her out to dinner,shower her with attention,tell her how much you love her then tell her that you want to understand what is bothering her.Tell her men are just not wired at catching on to whats bothering a women without the woman telling them what it is.Say men just don't have that built in instinct.
