We have heard about the psycho-girl, now, we tackle the worse kind… the psycho-girlfriend.

A psycho-girlfriend is someone who hovers in her own cyclical reality. She is egocentric, thus, everything negative that happens to the relationship is the guys fault, and she’ll definitely say that she’s tired of arguing about it.

For instance, personal experience aside, a friend has this girlfriend X and she’s a psycho-girlfriend. She agonizes over the smallest mistakes making a mountain out of a mole hill, rants about it to her boyfriend (who is also probably stupid enough not to dump her despite the relationship turning into a recurring nightmare), and blames it all to the guy while claiming that she’s the messiah by taking all the sacrifices she has to do in order to save the relationship.

X: Nasan ka?! (Where are you?!)

Wimpy dude: Sa bahay ni A. (In A’s house.)

X: Bakit hindi ka nanaman nagsabi sakin?! (Why didn’t you tell me where you are?!)

W.D.: Magtetext palang… (I was about to text…) — She cuts him off and nags and rants and blabs and goes wild.

This is ALWAYS followed by “Lagi nalang tayo nagaaway…” (We’re always arguing…), with the subsequent reconciliation and it’s deja vu the next day.

Notice that the woman has a way of preventing the conflict by simply letting the issue slide, afterall, it’s not life-threatening. Another thing is that she forgets the fact that she is NOT supposed to be the center of a guy’s universe. Yes, we can all go cheesy singing songs and poetry about women being the sunshine of his life or whatnot, but this is supposed to be a voluntary act.

A secondary problem about their kind is that the first resort of these women is anger followed by the severance of the relationship (breakup). Albeit they are (supposedly) rational beings, they lose control and lets out the Pavlov’s Dog in them by reacting to circumstances without thinking. Like salivating upon hearing the bell, they go berserk over the smallest things.

If you’re guilty of being a psycho, here are some helpful tips:

Remember that it always takes two to tango. A guy could have been negligent not to report to you, but you could have simply told him to “try not to forget it next time” than to go wild. This only means that you have a part in the argument as well. Love is about understanding, is it not?

Never resort to break up if it is not final. Do you want to look stupid by ending the relationship and try to restore it a few hours later? Great stupidity comes great responsibility, try not to make your partner miserable, be responsible for your own stupidity.

It could help to write your reasons for your anger, and I do mean the primary cause such as “he did not text when he got home” or something. If you see that you have written it a lot of times already, you can point this out to your partner and TALK about it. However, if he forgets to tell you where he is once a week or less, you’re in the wrong, fool!

Keep your calm.

Try not to blurt out emotionally-infested outbursts towards your partner. (Have you tried throwing plates on the wall?) (You can also hit the wall HARD with your head to let it all out)

Be mature about matters concerning the relationship, handle it with care.

Always keep an open mind.

P.S. This is applicable to psycho-boyfriends as well, just try to reverse everything gender-sensitive in the post.

P.P.S. You can show this to your psycho-girlfriend and let her argue with me if she freaks out.
