My girlfriend has been getting severely upset whenever I ask her questions. Today, after getting into an argument over it, I let things settle down for a bit and we discussed it further.

She told me that she only gets frustrated whenever I ask her something that I could just as easily look up on the internet. Some examples of the type of questions I'm asking involve how to prep food, or how to do something around the house.

I told her that I ask her that kind of stuff because she seems reliable and that she would know the answer, but she said she doesn't want me to ask her those kinds of questions anymore.

So, who's out of line here? Should I not be asking her stuff I could just look up? Is it normal for her to be getting frustrated and angry by these types of questions?

    Your girlfriend needs to chill out. Lashing out at you for asking a simple question is just dumb. Even if you can find the answer online.

    You ask how to properly make cake mix for example... Sure, you could go on a browsing spree, go to wikihow, watch youtube videos, etc... but it's easier and more NATURAL to ask your significant other.

    If I got pissed off for every stupid car-related question my girlfriend has asked me, my face would be red and I'd have steam coming out of my ears cartoon style!
    I don't get angry, I answer the question, because it's my girlfriend asking it and I love her.

    If we have to resort to computers for every single thing, just to avoid basic human interaction, let's just start WWIII and get this shit over with!

    I get asked simple things by my wife all the time. You know what? If you love someone you realize that they’re looking for your attention most of those times, so I just stop what I’m doing and help her. I think your g/f should lighten up, and you could be more independent. Maybe you 2 need more intimacy, or you may break up.

    Hello, as a fellow girlfriend myself, I usually have this kind of attitude towards my boyfriend sometimes but I try to tone it down and understand that he know I can help him the best.

    I do get super annoyed when my boyfriend asks me questions even if he knows the answers to them sometimes. He stays over my apartment and it drives me crazy when he keeps asking me all these simple things. It makes him look like he can't do things or decide on things for himself.

    I think maybe you got used to doing that while you we're still around your mom? You know, being dependent on the simple things, etc. For us women, we usually carry the mental load of things to do around the house so asking these questions makes us feel like we do every single thing for you and sometimes its exhausting to do all the thinking every damn time.

    You're not out of line but sometimes maybe just put in the effort to solve things yourself because we both know you can do it without her help.

    I hope this helped you understand your girlfriend a bit better.

    It's normal if you don't know better than to have Borderline Personality Disorder.

    And because it's called Borderline PERSONALITY DISORDER... It's not normal at all.

    Run before you get PTSD or murdered
