Search Results: problems in relationship

The woman I'm dating makes greats efforts for me to feel at ease with her. She cooks for me, and she does all kinds of things so I feel great.

But there's a problem, she's very manipulative and insecure. Like very manipulative.

She constantly criticizes me, or censors the way I say things or do things. When I try to improve them strangely she becomes even more disgusted and demanding.

It's like I can never keep up with the standards she wants, and when I try to share my thoughts about any topic I frequently feel she will criticize me and discourage me. The love I get feels conditional, and I don't feel like capable of making her happy.

This is a topic I brought to her several times, and it seems she makes efforts to fix it. But even then it is frequent, and I'm starting to get very tired of it.

Shall I stay and try to work things out, or shall I leave? How can I tell?

So me and my friend are in this sports social group and this girl started too.
I like this girl and we went out to a football game together ( no a date). This girl is friendly personality and I read the signs wrong. So I text her afterwards and asked if she want to go on a date. She replied that she is not looking to get into a relationship ATM. I said OK no problem and we continued going to group.

That was to 2 months ago. I'm guessing my friend likes her too. The three of us go to football games together and they we always arrive together. My friend said that he is driving pass anyway so just collects her too.

So the other night I was driving pass this girls house and seen his car parked outside and the next day the car was stay there. Now I accepted that she is not interested in me and they can do whatever they like. So I started texting them both to try and see if they would admit that your were spending time together. They lied about spending time with each other. I meet them afterwards and said i was planning on leaving the sports group and do something else. They can be dating or are just good friends too.

My guy is a nice guy but is also a really take the hand/wind up person. And I'm worried he will take the piss and its hard enough seeing them together.

What should I do?
