Once in a while those texts might be cute, but if you do them a lot, it gets really annoying! And I can relate to your boyfriend. Sometimes girls just ask the stupidest questions that are really hard to answer.

Wow, that was rather harsh. Your bf sounds like an ass. If you ask him stuff like that regularly, however, please take note of all the male responses here that show their annoyance for this kind of thing. Men don't think about relationships the way women do at all. They don't think about things like the specific reasons WHY they have the feelings they have; they just feel them and figure that's enough. And it should be. Most women are sensitive and lots are a little insecure, and like being reminded that they're important to the men they're dating, which sounds fair to me. If you make him play the reassurance game over and over again, though, almost any guy will get tired of it really quickly. It makes you sound clingy and dependent, for one thing, and for another, it makes it sound like you didn't believe him last time he reassured you. Don't make him repeat himself. Finally, don't let your happiness revolve around other people. I'm not the best at that myself; I think it's a fairly standard female failing, but try really hard to become emotionally independent. You can't root your happiness in a guy, a friend, a parent, a mentor, no one - because they'll all let you down at some point, and then what will you do? You have to find your emotional stability within yourself. Let yourself love other people, but don't let yourself need them. The key to healthy relationships is that independence. Good luck, and I hope you feel happier soon.

Dumbass. You deserved that one. That's not meant to be randomly said through texts.

#119 - Swan Pot. Kettle. Black, Swan. You say "So please men, have a little understanding of the woman in your life. It's not our fault." Then you say "Don't you expect us to understand when you do your stupid 'man' things." Are you kidding me? You want us to have understanding for your "woman" things, but women don't even attempt to understand "man" things... Laughing my ********* ass of. Men are the way they are because of our hormones and chemicals, just like women.... Yet, women aren't expected to attempt to understand the hormones and chemicals, but the men have to? Equality much? Give me a ******* break.

Eh, dump his ass. There's no excuse for that kind of behavior.

YDI for being such a whiny ass needy bitch, and this is coming from a girls perspective....It seems like you're kind of an attention ***** who has to rely on other people for everything..LEARN TO BECOME MORE INDEPENDENT! It sounds like you've annoyed him in the past and he finally reached his breaking point so serves your right. Learn to rely on yourself more. Shit bitch, way to set us girls back 300 years.

Yea I'm going to have to agree with the men on this one. Yes us women have mood swings, but there can still be some control. For example, if I know I'm going to be a bitch, I tell people to leave me alone. Or if I do get snappy, I just apologize. #119- you make women sound so helpless. "Oh I'm on my period, I can't control the way I act!" That's just the way it reads to me. I like to have responsibility for the way I act. Not blame it on a cycle.

I'd imagine that such harsh response means you must have bugged him previously with these sort of questions. Don't ask questions to "cheer" you up. Instead, tell him you're feeling depressed so that way he'll know to cheer you up. Don't ask dumb questions that beat around the bush.

YDI for being an attention *****. Clearly, you do it quite often.

Sorry girls, but there are very few (if any) guys who do not hate being asked that question. Advice to all of you, stop asking the question and you'll end up being happier. YDI.
