Is it abusive or disrespectful relationship ? Posted: 03-16-05 09:08am
My ladyfriend (j)and I have been living
together for five years. She helped me
thru a major cancer scare in 1999 and
after I recovered we just stayed together
and shared a house.
I run my business from home and whenever a
customer comes to the house, j hovers in
the background until she senses an
opportunity to push into the conversation
that I am having with my customer. She
then tries to dominate and take over. I
have asked her three times not to talk to
my customers. She backs off for about a
week and then ramps it up again. It is
really getting to me. She also forces her
way into every conversation which I have
with others on the social scene. If I
have a dance with another lady, j then
will try real hard to befriend that lady
in order to be "friends" with her . What
is going on here?
I feel like I have no freedom to talk to
whomever I wish, however j is one on the
worst flirts that I have ever met. She
also seems to create turmoil whereever she
goes. She irritates lots of people and
has alienated my mother and my brother by
talking out of turn.
Is this behavior a dealbreaker, or is it
quite common ? Is it abusive or
disrespectful. What do you all think?
