Having a really hot girlfriend will allow one to tolerate that for a while. I had one about 5 years back. Smoking hot. All sweet and lovey dovey... At first... then the claws started sticking in one by one. It was like walking on egg shells. A terrible feeling of doom just to go on a date. BUT. I threw her to the curb. Within days she found the next chump.
Reminds me of a conversation I had with some female friends of mine one day. They were amazed that men were dumping Cheryl Crow. “She’s rich, She’s beautiful, She’s a great musician, How could any man break up with her.”
To which I stated. “Maybe she’s a bitch.”
It never occurred to them.
Thus the old saying when you see a single pretty girl...”Some guy, somewhere, got sick of her crap”
Like: You just can’t put up with her shit, anymore...
I had a similar experience but ended up marrying her. She turned out to have insane jealousy toward anyone. I don’t know how she kept it bottled in but it all poured out on our wedding night and she had a psychotic break and ended up on the bedroom floor in the fetal position with her fingers and toes all knurled up. I was in a state of shock so I went to the ice machine and filled the tub full and put her in it!
We managed to stay together for 9 more years (got her on Zoloft about 4 months in and that helped with the PMS raging) until I could no longer take it and threw her out. I couldn’t talk about anything that happened during my day for fear of triggering her episodes.
Advice I give to young men:
No matter how hot she looks, no matter how much you want her, there’s some guy tired of putting up with her crap.
That reminds me of a quote I once heard: “No matter how smoking hot your new girlfriend is somewhere out there there’s a guy who’s sick of her sh!t.”
