My girlfriend was crying

This afternoon, my girlfriend was crying. She was sitting with her friend and i sat down with them and asked what was wrong. my friend was there too, and she wouldn't say what was wrong, she just kept her head in her friends lap and her hands over her face. I asked my friend to go away for a bit, and then i asked if she was sure she didn't want me know. then she said she would tell me.

She said that she was a bad person and didn't deserve someone like me. I said she was a good person, but she just shook her head and she said "I hurt people". she said she has hurt pretty much everyone she knows and she didn't want to hurt me. Then she actually said that because she is depressed and going through a lot of crap right now, she doesn't feel like she is in the right mind to be able to care or love someone in boyfriend/girlfriend relationship.

I sighed and said I knew she was having some tough times at the moment, but i said that if she ever needed someone to talk to I would be there and I would listen.

Yep that's the story and that all happened this afternoon. Not sure what you're going to be voting on as whats yes and whats no, but Im really just trying to get this off my chest, and get some thoughts and opinions from people who are actually thinking straight. But i suppose, is it normal for someone to feel like they don't deserve someone, and also to act this way?

Very long post, sorry.

    You just make sure you keep your promise now. Even though you didn't actually promise, you just told a half-broken, hurting young girl that you would be there for her. If you bail now it'll probably break her little heart. Just be careful and make absolutely sure you love her and that you will be able to handle supporting a broken individual.

  • She definitely just used this bullshit excuse as a way to break up with you. She probably just didnt want to be in a relationship and wanted to slut herself around town.

    Either way she did you a favor. If she really meant what she said about "hurting people" then she probably has no clue what being in a relationship is and like someone else said a crazy emotional train wreck.

    OR like I said she just wants to slut herself out some, which is the same thing as being a full blown slut. Once a slut, always a slut. There is no such thing as being "slutty" and then "growing up", either you are a slut or you arent. Just because a drunk goes to rehab and stops drinking doesnt mean they arent an alcoholic still.

    I would go nuts if my girlfriend told me that she was upset and didnt want to tell me. Natural good boyfriend thing to do is give her space and make good on your promise to be there for her. Regardless of who she hurt, if you really love her you would accept her when she says no and (obviously) when she needs you to turn to. Hope you guys make it through the storm

    It's sort of a 2nd way to say " it's not you, it's me"

    Not my kind of girl.
    But if you like her, stick by her side and be here for her.
    I just hope you don't end up regretting it.
    I for one wouldn't stay with a girl who's like that.

    Perfectly normal, if she's a teenager. Many of them thrive on drama (Sure, a lot of adults do too, but not the same way). Being reassured feels good and they will seek it out - if necessary, by letting some Crazy show. And they may not even know it's crazy because they saw so-and-so do it in a movie and her boyfriend was totally hot/she had a perfect life/what-have-you. The game you observed also serves to keep an air of mystery about her - keep you interested, if she thought you might have been getting bored. Or if she were getting bored.

    It IS a red flag, though, unless you like drama and constantly having to reassure someone that you love her and are there for her, etc. - in that case, you got it made!

    RED FLAG.

    She's going to fuck you over REAL bad if you don't see the red flags. She probably does have problems but when people tell you you are too good for them, they aren't lying!!! They are trying to get you to break up with them first (you don't need that incompetence).

    Or she's PMSing.

    I don't think you understand just how normal that is. Is this your first girlfriend or were your other girlfriends emotional baracades? Girls get emotional and cry all the time buddy! And she was crying about something people cry all the time about. It's as simple as everyone being mad at you for some reason or other and you feel like a screw up. So totally normal you're stupid for posting this :/

    My gf did the same think after month 1
    Over the phone she was arguing that she was a bad person and doesn't deserve to be happy because of her past. Her past is kinda dark and abussive.
    I'm the only guy who treated her right and it scared her because it was something out of the norm in her dating life.
    She sounded suicidal and depressed on the phone
    I argued back that I loved her, I won't let your past label you as a good gf or not.
    I honestly only see me breaking up with her if she cheated on me
    Eventually I calmed her down and she said we were staying together
    We been good ever since, a few fights hear and there but good

    This is an excuse that she used to leave you , maybe she doesn't love you Trust me, IN TIME it will come full circle. Be a friend to her. You can tell her how you feel, just know that if you do, she might avoid you. Patience and time have a way of working things out.
