Every relationship is different; some girlfriends are going to be a bit more mentally sound than others. Overall, though, I believe we all have a little bit of crazy in us, and we show it every time we utter one of the following phrases:
1) “Do you think she’s prettier than me?”
Despite what anyone says, looks do matter and jealousy is inevitable. Women hate on other women, especially the pretty ones, because we feel threatened. However, it’s how you handle this that matters because you don’t actually want to hear the honest answer. Making comparisons is the most surefire way to feel awful about yourself, so don’t do it. Or for the sake of you both, at least just don’t say it aloud. A little confidence goes a long way.

2) “It’s fine.”
These are fighting words. “Fine” is the second worst, four-letter “f” word that a girlfriend could possibly say. It may debatably be the worst depending on your level of passive aggression, which for most of us is alarmingly high. It’s equivalent could be described as you messed up, and I don’t plan on telling you until I’m so unreasonably angry that you are forced to rack your brain and figure out which stupid thing you did this time. You will then say, “But you said it was fine!” The cycle then repeats. Such naïveté.
3) “You act different around your friends.”
This is probably a true statement. It’s also really difficult to control, much less to even realize that you’re doing it – and we all do it. We have different friendships with different people, so naturally we are not going to act the exact same around everyone. The idiot that he is around his friends is not the same slightly lesser idiot that he is around me, and I should be very okay with that. It gets to be an actual problem when the “different” behavior is rude or condescending.
4) “Have fun.”
Lord, help you. If we ever did actually mean this then our idea of “fun” would be a bit more on the sadistic side. By now we should all know that girls seldom say what they mean so this should come as no surprise, and yet many boyfriends across the globe right this minute are falling for it. Maybe we actually do want you to have fun and we haven’t found a reason yet to be angry, but this is unlikely.
5) “We never spend time together.”
That’s strange, how did you two meet then? Never is a strong word, and as soon as it comes out of your mouth you are almost immediately discredited for whatever follows. If you really feel that you aren’t spending as much time together as you would like and you have specific examples of when the two of you could have been hanging out but you just didn’t, feel free to use those. Facts might get you somewhere. “Never” will not.
6) “You don’t love me as much as I love you.”
Have we measured it lately, and is there an accurate, quantitative scale that the public has yet to see? Everyone shows love in different ways, especially men and women. Boys like to buy things for girls and label it love, and girls like to cuddle, talk about their feelings, and hear how pretty they are. You can either learn to see it from other perspectives, or leave now before you’ve wasted years trying to get another person to think in the exact same way that you do. Compromise is a wonderful and elusive thing.

7) “Who are you texting?”
If I said we don’t care, I would be lying. Kimberly could be your cousin or your mother or even your sweet little grandma, but if I see her name on your phone and I don’t recognize it, explanations will be due. This goes back to the whole jealously situation. Because of our insanely jealous and possessive nature, we will almost always assume the absolute worst, even if just for a second. I think it’s perfectly healthy to have friends of the opposite sex while in a relationship, but I will also be the first to say that girls are nosy, insecure creatures who certainly won’t make this easy. And so we keep that side eye strong.
