Let's Talk Angela R. Harvey In Relationships, Falling In Love IS The Easy Part . . . The Language Of Love: Communication I’ve been seeing a girl for a few weeks and everyone has been treating us like we are a couple. Now, we’re starting to act like one. I want to slow things down and just date for a while, but is it too late? I try to talk to my girl, but she never listens to me. I know the butch is supposed to be strong, etc--but I need some support too. How can I get her to hear me? Can a relationship be too good to be true? My girl and me have been together (and happy) for a year and that’s starting to bother me. I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. Sometimes I get her angry – just to see if anything slips out. It doesn’t and then I feel bad for pissing her off. I’m okay for a while, and then I start wondering if it’s too good again. When we argue, my girlfriend brings up hurtful things from my past. I was open and honest with her about everything and she uses it against me. So now, I don’t tell her anything about how I feel and that upsets her. What am I supposed to do? I am everything my girl wants me to be. I gave up my “bad” friends, my “bad” habits --- now I’m unhappy. Every time I get into a relationship, it seems like I’m the only one who gives things up. Help! I’m tired of compromising. How do you know when it’s time to end a relationship? About the contributor Angela R.
