Study Abroad or Stay with Control Freak
Dear Dyke Whisperer, I am an International Business major and have the opportunity to study abroad. I was really excited, but, when I told my girlfriend, she became angry and said “it was out of the question.” She won’t discuss this with me, saying that if I go, she’ll break up with me. Would love to hear your comments on this.

Dear Stunned,
There are several problems here. First, you need to study abroad as an International Business major. That’s obvious. Second, the “out of the question” response is indicative of a control freak. Not good. Third, not wanting to discuss this issue that is very important to you demonstrates a lack of respect. That’s three strikes; she should be out of your life.
The relationship is dysfunctional. The question is whether you want to remain in a warped relationship with a control freak who doesn’t respect you or not.
