We were both really up front that male behavior bothers us, but she constantly has males around her, being loud, interrupting women, and just being too much.
She acts completely different around men, but I know she's going to play victim if i leave.
Is there a good way to handle this, without seeming like the jerk?
I can't tell her to cut off male friends, but escaping male psychological warfare is why I wanted to date a woman.
They aren't even nice to her.
I'd be careful dating women and thinking they can't be patriarchal, if anyone on here is curious.
Dating her has put me around MORE of them, because they're always sniffing around her, and IM the femme between us two...
Imagine a guy saying he's dating men now even though he's straight because he's an incel. This is that post but for this site 💀
Are you trolling?
Why do you stay in relationships that don't benefit you?
Why do you feel like breaking up is being a jerk? There are fair ways to break up.
Whats the point of this post? That if you dump her she's gonna "play the victim"? I dont think "victim" is the right word for someone getting dumped.
But if you dump her, yes, shes going to be upset. Theres no way around it. What do you want us to do about it?
You don't have to specify why you don't think you're a good match when you're breaking up with her. If she doesn't respect that, it says more about her than it does about you.
It sounds like the two of you aren't a match. There's really no way you can dump her without her feeling some type of way about it.
But is this the life you want forever? If this relationship continued on for five more years exactly this same way, would you be happy? If you're not happy, end it. Let her find someone who fits with what she wants. And allow yourself to do the same.
And for Pete's sake, get some therapy; this post and the other one indicate a lot of people-pleasing traits. People-pleasing is not healthy. It will just screw you over in the long run. I say this out of love - have more consideration for yourself.
Did you ask why she acts different? I wonder what her reasoning is
