Not as dumb as the guy who goes ahead and asks after all that.

true 🙁



yep. if you really want long term and all that crap, just tell her you wont do her tasks, etc. the refuse to do them. refuse to fight if she tries. if she cant handle it, then dump her, if she doesnt dump you first.

at least give her the oppurtunity to grow. she cant do that if she doesnt know what to expect from you, which up until this point it sounds like most of what she asked. nut up and train that wench!

Why does the GF always want to make her problems my problems. If she's affraid she'll sound dumb when she asks a question, how dumb does she look when I have to ask a question for her... aka "gee, my gf wanted to know the answer to this. I told her the answer and I told her what you would say but she made me ask anyway."

Then, to top things off, she gets mad at me for pointing out that her acting helpless only makes things worse, not better.

How do you teach a college senior that you can't just hand off the things in life that are "hard" to other people? Hell, she handed me the phone once while she was on the phone with her boss and asked me to quit her job for her.

WTF.

Why do you have a GF who needs to be taught anything? Does she make you feel all manly and in control?

Right now she wants to register for a seminar. She can't communicate with the <she put a racial slur here> on the phone and wants me to find out more information for her myself.

She wouldn't ask if she wasn't pretty sure you'd do it. Dump this 3 year old and find a real woman.

i think sixone is offering. 😉

My husband would LOVE that. 😉

sounds like a keeper 😉

Yeah. Right. The last time I let her cook for me, she took a fork to my brand new teflon pan that I had to save for a month to afford.

I believe when he said COOKING, he meant "COOKING"
 
Unless you really want things to work out, I say tell her she has a lot to learn and she better learn fast if she's already a college senior. My ex-gf was like this, thank god I'm not with her anymore and am with someone who's more decisive and whatnot.

One of the best things in a relationship is equality, she seems to want to not take any responsibility and may have a fear of it.

So how do you teach it? You can always manipulate a situation where you would be away and she has to do something herself. But that may require too much effort than what it's worth.

Run away NOW.
I usually dislike such blanket statements but in this case it applies. She sounds like trouble and will lean on the OP for everything forever.
