How do I (30F) be a better gf to my lovely bf (32M)

  1. Have better things to think about. Read things that interest you, maybe write. You could fictionalize the scenarios that come to your mind and write stories, it will distract you and provide an outlet that isn't some poor sod who doesn't deserve it.
  2. You don't have to do anything special, just be sufferable. That's it. Good people will often suffer the little things because they genuinely care about people and don't have weird hangups.
  3. A woman who isn't an emotional mess and one that has her own goals in life that align with yours. Support is great, but to be honest, men don't need active emotional support as much as women do, not causing trouble while being talkable is good enough.
  4. Probably, yes? Why does this matter? I'm sure just as many people have went on to become even more out of their gourd. I don't think it's helpful either way to think about that. Better way to think would be to see how others have resolved it, but you won't get anything better than "I started taking responsibility and became less swayed by my emotions."
