Is my (28m) relationship with my gf (25f) in trouble? Or am I being unreasonable?
Hi all!
So my (28m) relations with my girlfriend (25f) has been going fairly well for 3+ years now. I do really love her and enjoy her company a vast majority of the time. That said, she is hyper competitive and generally can get pretty intense at times and it has always made me a bit uncomfortable. We’ve talked about it maybe 2-3 times already and while I see that she does try to hold it back, there isn’t really much change in this way.
I’ve ultimately realized I don’t want to spend forever feeling this unease when her sports teams play or if we play rec sports teams, etc. I also don’t want my kids raised in a house where there’s yelling at a tv during a game and such.
Do yall think I can reasonably expect to see her change with this? Is it even fair of me to expect her to change in this way? I’m torn on how to feel and if this is grounds for calling things off. Any insight is appreciated!
TL;DR my girlfriend is hyper competitive and it makes me uncomfortable. Is it fair of me to expect her to change? And am I even being reasonable for asking this of her? I want things to work out, I’m just at a loss with the situation.
