i have a problem with my girlfriend as she gets angry mostly at me but also other things. for example, if we are in the car and im giving her directions and i make a mistake and we miss a turn off, she will get really angry and start swearing and being really nasty to me. or if she asks me to hang out the washing and i forget or something like that, she will get really angry. but its also other things like the other day she brought home some shopping in her bag and a yoghurt had burst inside it and she got so angry she was swearing and was basically impossible to deal with for the rest of the day and would snap if i tried to talk to her. every holiday we have gone on together has been ruined for me because she gets angry and in a bad mood about little things and blames it on me.
when i talk to her about her anger, she says its my fault because i "dont listen". but i think her level of anger is far out of proportion to the things that happen to make her angry. i mean, i am only human and bound to forget things or make mistakes. i feel like i am walking on egg shells sometimes being careful not to slip up so she doesnt get angry. yesterday i suggested to her that she read a book to help her to overcome her anger problem but she totally refused and pretty much denies that she has any problem at all.
we have been together 6 years and actually for the most part we have a good relationship and she has a lot of good characteristics as well so it would be very hard for me to dump her. but a lot of the time i fantasise about what it would be like to have a different girlfriend who was more chilled out and i didnt have to worry about her ruining our holidays.
so what do you think i can do about it?
