My girlfriend and I have been going out for two months this January and things have been going pretty well so far except for a few details. When my girlfriend gets mad she starts yelling, telling me things that are clearly meant to hurt my feelings and sometimes she even hits me. After she calms down she'll apologize but that hasn't stopped her from doing it again. She is very moody and sometimes she'll get upset over the smallest things, I don't know what to do about it. I love her to death, she is cute, sexy and smart. She can be the sweetest girl sometimes but then again when she gets mad she really hurts my feelings. Please Help!

Why do you take it. This is considered spousal abuse, and when she hits you you should call the police and have her butt thrown in jail. Violence is NO way to treat people and if you let her hit you, you are telling her you approve of her doing so. Tell her if she EVER hits you again you will have her arrested. Next time she starts screaming and throwing her tantrum, get up and walk away and don't go back without company to get anything you left. Nobody deserves to be treated like a slave.

You have to understand that my girlfriend had a rough time growing up and left her family very early, so she has lived in complicated environments where she would have to react very aggresively. I don't approve of her hitting me, even it hasn't been anything major yet. To me the bigger probem is her attitude.

It sounds like she is really stressed out. Maybe her moods are caused by stress...maybe she is only doing what she learned growing up. It could be just her mood, but it could be a deeper problem. Try really talking to her when she is in a good mood!
