Ladies, Being A Psycho Girlfriend Isn't Cute, It’s Abusive

It’s not attractive to threaten your man.

Ladies, Being A Psycho Girlfriend Isn't Cute, It’s Abusive

“If a girl so much as looks in my man’s direction, she’ll be looking at the inside of a coffin.”

“If he makes me upset even the slightest, you can bet I’m changing the locks and he’s sleeping in the cold.”

“His phone might almost be dead, but he for sure will be if he doesn’t find a charger.”

Okay, first off - you’re a terrible girlfriend.

I don’t care if you spoil your boyfriend, if you support him day in and day out and he’s the absolute love of your life.

Stop saying stuff like this. Stop making him feel like he’s stuck with you. Stop threatening him, and stop threatening other women. It’s not cute. It’s abusive.

“Psycho” girlfriends have always been around, but it’s seems to be trendy now. Girls are starting to parent their boyfriend and force them into a bubble that can never be popped. They’ll say it’s love, but it’s manipulative and gross.

Relationships require freedom and flow.

Always asking questions about where your boyfriend is, who he’s with, and what he’s doing -- is abusive. We can recognize that when boyfriends are doing it, but a girlfriend does it and it’s just her “being protective?”

I get being protective of your emotions, too, but there’s no reason to do something mean because your boyfriend has upset you.

Not one relationships is 100 percent perfect.

There are little things that irritate one another, things said that came off wrong, and bickering about things that don’t matter. You experience a range of emotions because you’re both human.

If you get upset with your boyfriend and decide to destroy his items, lock him out, or any other “revenge,” -- you’re not letting him be human. You’re controlling his emotions so you can always be happy and in control.

That’s what it’s about, right? Control?

Girls are manipulating their boyfriends into submissive states. They’re forcing them to stay within a box they cannot fit. It’s abusive.

They want to be pampered and loved, but don’t want the hardships that come with a relationship so they will control as much as they can to create the illusion of constant sunshine and rainbows.

Relationships come with trust, sympathy, care, and love, and if these feelings cannot be mutual, then it’s not time for a relationship. If you can’t learn to share his time and respect his emotions, then a relationship is not right for you.

We as a society have got to stop normalizing abusive women in relationships.

If it’s not OK to treat women a certain way, it’s not OK to treat men that way.

Psycho girlfriends aren’t trendy and cute. They’re abusive and cruel.

If you can’t accept the trials of a relationship, you don’t need one.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
