How to Deal with a Selfish Girlfriend

A relationship can very well turn into a nightmare if your girlfriend turns out to be selfish. In this situation, it is not always a necessity to eject out of the relationship.
If you really want to make a relationship work with a selfish girl, there are some things that you can do. Read on to find out more.

1. Point Out

More often than not girls don’t even realize that they are acting selfish at the expense of their partner. It might help if you make your girl realize of her selfish deeds preferably in a subtle manner. However, don’t be incessant and try to work out your way slowly and gradually.

2. Talk it Out

It may also be possible that by acting selfish, your girlfriend will be trying to prove a point or hint you something. Try to initiate a conversation with your girlfriend to find out if there is actually something that is bothering her. Also ensure that both of you are on the same page regarding each other’s priorities.

3. Draw Boundaries

It is important to lay down a set of ground rules if you are dating a selfish girlfriend. You cannot let your girl walk all over you and then regret it later. Try to make it apparent to your girlfriend that you surely care for her and her priorities, but you cannot be taken for granted.

4. Offer Help

If your girlfriend is in fact selfish, you can also help her rise above this flaw of hers. By trying to make her a better person, you will be enhancing her and your own life too. You can start by making her realize that she is selfish and then help her bring a change in herself. Encouraging her to join self-help groups and read books can also help.

5. Provide Motivation

Tales of extraordinary personalities of the likes of Mother Teresa and Nelson Mandela can also inspire selflessness in a person. You can also encourage her to do charity or social work to acquaint her with the joy of giving. No person is biologically selfish; it is only one’s experiences that make him/her cynical and selfish. By inspiring selflessness in your girlfriend, you can show her the larger way of living life.

6. Give her an Ultimatum

You can always exploit your position as her boyfriend and make threats to break the relationship. If she really cares for you, she will make that effort to bring about a change in herself. However, for your threat to work, it should seem to be veritable one.
It is a well-known fact that every relationship requires compromise. However, the compromise should only extend to a certain limit. There are people who never change no matter how hard you try to change them. The final resort is to break the chains and put yourself out of the misery of bearing a selfish girlfriend.
