My girlfriend has the tendency to get really upset when things do not go her way. We're both 18. They relationship is pretty much perfect and we're both very happy with each other.
For example, yesterday she wanted to play Just Dance and I told her I was not in the mood. She persisted and took it so seriously, and played Just Dance for 15 minutes afterwards without saying a single word to me. She realizes that she does this and she wants to change herself and we do not know how to.

Razhie answered Tuesday December 30 2014, 7:58 pm: Therapy?
The honest answer is - this aint your problem. This is her problem and she needs to take control of her own feelings and behaviours. There might be basically nothing you can do to help her with this. It's all on her.
I'm never fond of making a boyfriend or girlfriend feel like it's their job to be the therapist for their partner. Really, encourage her to talk to someone about her anger. Chances are this is a problem that manifests in a lot of areas of her life, and could be holding her back with friends, family and definitely could hurt her at work. It's the kind of thing therapy is meant for, and is really good at.
She knows she has a problem. If she had a problem not knowing how to fix her car, or a broken lamp, she's look for professional advice. This is the same thing. She deserves a pro. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
