At the start of a relationship, it almost always seems that feelings are what matter most. There’s attraction, emotions, interest — and it feels like everything else will fall into place on its own. But the reality is different: it’s everyday behaviors that determine whether a relationship brings happiness or constant stress.
Here are 20 types of women with whom even the most patient man risks burning out before feeling true closeness.
Drama Lover
Calm is boring to her. She creates conflicts and grudges out of thin air because arguments are her “life.” Result: you burn out, and the drama continues.
Stuck in the Past
Her exes live in her head. Old resentments are projected onto you, and you end up paying for other people’s mistakes.
Always Dissatisfied
You didn’t bring flowers — she’s upset. Didn’t buy a watch — more complaints. None of your efforts are ever enough.
Attention-Dependent
Likes, glances, compliments — this is the fuel for her self-esteem. Even with you, she seeks validation from the outside.
Constant Victim
In her world, everyone is to blame: bosses, parents, circumstances. Gradually, you become part of the list of “culprits.”
Emotionally Closed
She wants closeness but fears it. Any deepening of the relationship causes distance and coldness.
Controlling Disguised as Caring
At first it seems sweet, then full control. Her care becomes a dictate: who you see, what you do, how you live.
Constantly Comparing
You’re always losing: exes, friends, social media. Constant comparison keeps you one step behind.
Fearful of Commitment
Romance and passion — yes; stability and plans — no. Love is only “light and commitment-free.”
Testing Partner
Games, ignoring, provocations — instead of honest dialogue. Trust gradually erodes.
Financially Oriented
Love is measured by money. As soon as financial difficulties arise, feelings disappear.
Devalues Your Emotions
Your feelings are “nonsense.” You remain alone even in the relationship.
Image-Focused
What matters most is how you look to others. Sincerity and emotions come second.
Threatens Breakups
Any disagreement turns into an ultimatum. Love under the fear of loss.
Never Satisfied
Demands grow every day, gratitude is absent. You feel you’re never enough.
Passive-Aggressive
Snide remarks, cold silence, hints. You’re constantly tense but don’t understand the problem.
Always Doubting
Today she’s sure about you, tomorrow she doubts, the next day she wavers again. No stability in the relationship.
Expecting You to “Fix” Her Life
You’re not a partner — you’re a savior. Support and motivation become a duty, not love.
Doesn’t Respect Personal Boundaries
Phone, time, social circle — all under control. Any boundary is perceived as coldness.
Emotionally Immature
Outbursts, dramatization, exaggerated reactions “for no reason.” Dialogue is impossible, stability is absent.
