Mentioned above.. I loose my temper and she walks off.
I'm not going to hit a girl or scream...
I end up apologising...
What do you propose I do to stand my ground?
You misunderstand my meaning. I'm not suggesting you act agressively, I'm suggesting you act STRONG. For example, ignore her and withdraw your attention from her. When you have feelings for someone, that is difficult to do, you actually want to act GOOD towards the person you have feelings for, instead of treating her like she doesn't exist and doesn't mean anything to you.
It takes STRENGTH to stay resolute and treat herlike that anyway. And that strenght must come from your ATTITUDE, which must be: "I'm pissed off! You picked the wrong person to fvck with and now I'm gonna show you!"
Again, this angry attitude doesn't have to be translated into literally angry behavior. When you play a game of chess and your opponent takes an important piece from you, you also become angry but you MANIFEST your anger as following: you are calm and focused, you calmly think of a plan to take revenge and then you execute that plan very patiently, very controlled, very calmly.
You get my point?
You can show her that you won't accept her behavior and that she chose the wrong person to fvck with...but in a calm, controlled and patient way. However, you do need an angry ATTITUDE to begin with, coz that attitude will give you the STRENGTH and MOTIVATION to execute your strategy.
Right now, you clearly don't have that attitude. It is obvious from the fact that you end up pleading and apologizing everytime you and her are fighting.
Actually, you might be doing something good when you lose your temper or get aggressive in your tone. It sends a strong signal to her... But you mess it up by pleading and apologizing afterwards. Coz first you show strength, but then you do the opposite, by acting weak and apologizing. So she knows you are not really strong...
Next time you lose your temper and she walks off, when she comes back, you just ignore her and give her no attention. That way, you'll back up your earlier behavior, instead of contradicting it by pleading and apologizing. You send her a signal, communicating "you pissed me off and now I am gonna ignore you, that is what you get for fvcking with me!"
Of course, you don't say that. You just DO it, you just ignore her and give her no attention.
