My GF is threatening to breakup with me if I don't quit sugar

Move out and keep eating less sugar.

Not sure if eating no sugar is even possible. All kinds of sugars are in a lot of things.

we've had the 'my girlfriend is threatening to break up with me' troll a few times already.

the last one was over masks which is at least topical.

2/10

She is trying to control you.

Get out while you can.

Agree to her demands, then cook her dinner one night and use ungodly amounts of sugar in everything. When she realizes how awesome it is, tell her it's all sugar.

Oh no, it sounds like she has liberal derangement syndrome, what she believes or does she thinks everyone else should as well. Helpful tip, don’t disagree with her about black lives matter or she’ll call you a racist! Must be that youre so hopped up on that sugar!!!

She cant even control herself. Why not just cut down on sugar?

You could have an adult conversation and find some middle ground that makes you both comfortable. If this is causing a strain on the relationship it is already over, just a matter of time. If you guys can’t solve this what will you do if there is a real problem.?

My girlfriend quit sugar six weeks ago in order to be healthier and consequently boost her immune system. She's threatening to breakup because she says that me eating and having sweet stuff around the apartment is creating anxiety for her. I'm totally torn. Any advice?

If she is using threats in a relationship and displaying anxiety then she is not a keeper.

Let her go, she is one of the crazies.

Do a test:

Tell her to start anti-anxiety meds or you'll break up with her and see how she responds

It's worth testing your relationship early, otherwise if you give in you'll be whipped forever.

Just Sugar, or do you also need to quit Jasmine, Crystal, and Cherry?

I'm normally in the "support your partner as much as you can" camp, and I've given up or changed things to support my partners goals. But that's usually been part of a bigger conversation and understanding about what sacrifices each of us are making to meet the goal.

But this is different. Being supportive of your partner is a two-way street, and ultimatums are not the way to get there. Approach it with empathy and understanding, but you need to let her know that demands and ultimatums are not signs of a supportive relationship. Maybe illustrate that by asking how she would feel if you asked her to give up something or do something that is important to you.

Don't take orders.

This is not about politics so just stop.

She sounds like she is mighty full of herself this one.

To give a nonsense ultimatum like that she must think she has you under her thumb. If you let her do this, if you let her control you with something ridiculous she WILL lose respect for you. Stand up to her and be a man. Women do not respect guys that her walk all over them. Be loving but be assertive. What is she going to tell her friends "We broke up because he ate sugar" LOL.

Give her the breakup but do it maturely, tell her that you disagree with it and that you think you're great together. Then do not contact her at all. She will expect you to be chasing her, she will think she can just shoot an e-mail or text and have you back. After 1-2 weeks she will begin to lose that power wondering why you aren't reaching out, what are you doing, who are you doing it with. Let her miss you and feel a sense of loss when she realises what a stupid ultimatum it was. She will feel like the one who was broken up with and see she made a huge mistake.

If she contacts you, always reply but you want to be reserved, and you should be knowing this person gave you away over something so ridiculous. But it's okay to love someone who made a mistake and couldn't see your worth until you were gone.

Use this as an opportunity to break up with her and let her know what life is like without you, if you two had a great relationship then bet on it. I'd rather be with someone who knew they loved me too much to stay away as they will most likely not do it again in future when things get difficult. It sucks she has to learn this way but better than being with someone who thinks relationships are always smooth sailing.

You deserve to be loved and respected no matter how much sugar you eat. Also tell her the immune system runs off sugar. Every cell in the body runs off sugar. Sugar is a nutrient.

If someone is threatening to break up with you for something 'stupid' then just break up with them. If it was something more serious like 'stop cheating on me' or 'stop losing your money at the casino' or 'stop physically abusing me' then that makes sense. But eating something that has a minimal impact is a stupid reason.

I agree with her.

She must have told you that because you're not respecting her viewpoints and accommodating her requests.

So you can either talk and work this out with her, or move on.

Sugar tastes really really good.

She's asking a lot of you.

Also she seems to take diet advice from instagram.

Be wary

Seeing as how you're on letsrun for advice you're clearly a loser. Do what she says and obey or be a lonely loser.
