A 30-year-old man wrote that he was at his wit’s end with his 29-year-old girlfriend who kept complaining about her bad days.
In an anonymous post to popular confessions page SGWhispers, the man wrote that he was in a 4-year relationship with his girlfriend and “at the start, it was fine hearing her complain about her bad days to me. I thought this was just sharing days with each other. But this went on every day and its not an exaggeration. Everyday she will call me and whine about her day over the smallest things”.
He added that he was generally a positive guy who did not like to let negative things get to him. Despite this, he said that he would listen to her and support her when she came to him complaining.
“Thing is, when do you stop being a supportive boyfriend and start being used as an emotional therapist and punching bag for her to unload all those negativity onto? I usually listen and be supportive for 30mins or so before I cant take it and just walk away asking her for us to stop talking and calm down first”, he wrote. The boyfriend then continued that his girlfriend would not calm down and would keep calling and messaging him, crying and saying that she needed someone there for her.
He added that looking at things from her point of view, she probably thought he should be the one giving in as a boyfriend. “But I really cannot take the negativity every. day. over the smallest things like aunties rushing into trains to snatch seats etc”.
“Am i a bad boyfriend and need to be more patient?” he asked.
