Well
Is it awkward?
What do your friends and loved ones think?

Yes.
lol It's awkward. They don't approve and refuse to meet her.
Parents are just protective of their children so it's semi understandable. Why do you feel that way?Both.
Some days I can't take it seriously, either...
Both.

Our personalities are so different and she has some mental health issues that need to be addressed. I do too- but I don't take it out on her out anyone else. At first I thought it was hormonal, but she's pretty sure she went through menopause early.
She a Virgo, the same sign as my mother, and can be very overbearing and needy at times. Accusatory, jealous... I'm a Scorpio and used to having space to breathe and just be. She's not all bad. We have many great times and experiences but idk if those moments can sustain me through the lows. I don't like drama or volatile situations. I didn't have problems like these when I dated men exclusively. I also didn't care about men's feelings and would move on.
I have dreams and goals I don't think I can accomplish if I have to hand hold while supporting her dreams.
ETA: she may be a year older than my mom, but we just say that she's a few days older.
Oh my!! Are you ok with it?We just broke up. Maybe for good this time.

@mslyons I would feel more confident if she weren't so emotionally (and sometimes financially) dependent on me. This is the fourth time I've tried ending the relationship and her reaction is so extreme that I'm terrified something will happen. I can't cut her off like I can a man. She keeps asking what she can do to fix it, but there's nothing to do now. I'm completely drained. Completely empty. Emotionally, spiritually, and financially. I want to get back to being me.
Lol @barbiesocialite I see it. I feel crazy trying to understand her and I've only met one person with a similar personality; when that girl was on meds she was a great friend! Very self aware.
I wish I could just be myself around my ex-gf but she says I'm cold and "women don't act like that." I don't find that to be true at all.
Remember the "can you date a person with mental illness" thread? Yeah, I can't do it. I'm the only one that can battle anxiety and depression in the relationship.
I've never had these kinds of issues with men. I don't see many healthy, functional lesbian relationships in Brooklyn. Well, at least not in her circle.
