My girlfriend is a broken record (mp3 player)

Fuck her so hard the only thing she'll b able to say is "oh god!"

This reminded me of an old boss of mine. He was a relic of the LA punk scene in the 80s and was into his drink and his blow in large quantities. He certainly had an interesting life and told very funny stories but soon he started to repeat himself and would tell the same story in exactly the same way, all the same gestures and everything, just like you described. oh my god after the tenth time in a year I was really getting depressed because these stories were often like 15 minute epics and I had to keep my attention up and pretend every time to react appropriately. He really didn't know his memory was all shot so i didn't have the heart to stop him...

oh the things we put up with for love..

I can't stand it when girls do that (I am a girl btw) especially when the story is basically a giant string of the same damn complaints. WE GET IT! You hate it when guys stare at you when you wear your deep v-necks. Here's an idea, STOP WEARING THE DAMN V-NECK!!

Yeah my dad is like that...look make new and better stories with her so thay u will have something to talk about together...b a man...take her to Hawaii or I don't know start getting kinky with her...just make new memories.

men do it too! my father in law can talk in circles about nothing for hours and when i tell him i've heard it before he says "well i forgot to tell you this part" and continues on with what he was saying!

IMO you should recite it with her

Wtf. Record it and put all the videos of the same story told in different places all together and post it on Youtube or sell it to someone who is willing to pay. Seriously.

The best thing to say in my experience is during a breath point in her story just cut in with " yea you were sayin earlier" this signals that your heard it before, it's not rude, and if nothig else she'll prolly jump to the punchline or streamline the story, and this is someone you should comfortable enough to just say " babe, I've heard this story like a MILLION times lol" if you sy it jokingly, she won't be offended.

I'd say just tell her in the nicest way possible that you love her stories, you really do, but you have heard them so many times that you are starting to lose your appreciation for them. Tell her you'll take her out somewhere (park, dinner, movies, zoo, ANYTHING) so she can have a new experience and story to tell! That way she will probably forget about the initial sadness of being told she's a broken record, but also have it in the back of her mind so next time she goes to tell you about when she got her new car, she'll remember you know that story like the back of your hand and probably think of something else to talk about.

I know people like that, unfortunatly I had to grow up with a mother like that. Going on and on about nothing.

So if you can't stand her you might want to tell her in the nicest way possible to talk about something else?...

Ok...this is so easy. You two obviously don't get out and live life. If all you have to hear about are old experiences....make some new ones. Go on a road trip, take a nature walk, go to a sex shop, a zoo, a museum, bar, take a walk around your neighborhood. Change the conversation.

My dad did this, and in case you see similarities, also the following: obsessively read the newspaper aloud to others - verbal discouragement was unheeded, leaving the room would result in being followed, with him still reading. The stories he told were often about some situation involving people from his life decades before. Often about people I'd never met, and where the story had no educational value for me. He also had neutral emotional responses at times, and was treated for bipolar disorder( including manic shopping our drinking phases, and depressive hypochondriac phases ). Lithium helped all of the above.

Good luck, and take care of yourself first. You can't fix another person, but you can throw your whole life away to an endless energy drain.

lol i would give her a few new stories to tell :3 (losing her virginity :3)

she is trolling you

Its genetic, half the family on my wifes side are notorious story repeaters. I have noticed when they drink they repeat more, its funny most of the time but other times I could choke them. Im a quite person so I guess it works out most of the time.

Man, I can't stop laughing.
She totally lives in the past.

...No. I have a roommate who does the exact same thing. Some people just feel better when they talk about something, even if the words are regurgitated. It would be mean to point it out to her, so I just listen to her and try to provide some feedback; the problem is that she's starting to memorize some responses to my feedback, so when I talk to her, she gets Broken Record Syndrome even worse.

I know some people like that and they get really boring it's just because they think they have the best stories to tell and next time you should say can you please not re-tell your stories and I'm getting frustrated so will you?

My mom..and sister do the same too 0.0

My mom does the exact same thing ...

Comes with the territory bro.

Dude it's normal what u don't wanna do is tell her! Tune her out I'm guessing u already mastered that so have I brother!

When she starts to tell you a story just say " Haven't you already told me this before? "

Dude just dump her it's not worth it

my friend was like that
he told me the same story about Google times

My dad does the same exact thing. Tell her you heard it already, if she gets offended she needs to get over it, she probably just doesn't realize what she's doing.

reminds me of my parents. all they say is "don't talk to strangers" "never get in a big white van" "it was hard living as a kid" they need to hear themselves!

Reminds me of my dad, this whole year he has told me the same story more than 30 times!

totally normal . i make a point not to say the same things over cos i like to talk =P. I prefer to talk about new things tho or things happening at the time

Give her another story..... LEAVE HER!

in the middle of her telling the story, interupt with what happens next and say YEAH, YOU'VE TOLD ME THAT ONE BEFORE. Dont smile or look amused. She needs to learn that repeating a story is annoying and lame. GET DOWN BITCH.
