Women!

Can someone please tell me; 'WHY ARE WOMEN SO BLOODY COMPLICATED??!!'

Seriously, I mean what do they want? I guess this requires some background.

*Cue dreamy-looking scene*
I was once a very controlling boyfriend; Whatever my girlfriend was doing, whenever she was doing it, I needed to know. I mean like every detail, who's going with her, what time she'll be done, how she's gonna get back home, right down to a background of the friends who are going (that is if I didn't already know them.

However, after losing one to this volatile habit of mine, I toned down a little, only asking for the most rudimentary of information like the 'what are you doing?'-s and the 'when'-s, which I thought was pretty reasonable. Wasn't a boyfriend supposed to at least know what his girlfriend was doing?

Even that was too much. One thing you have to understand, I'm not like the other guys, I have issues with insecurity and I have a need to know everything. I won't chalk it up to me being concerned or anything, I was just a control freak; insecure and hating any situation that I'm not in control of.

So, I worked to get rid of my insecurities, and I worked very hard for it. I can proudly say that I can call you up(if you were my girlfriend, that is), and if you say you're out drinking with some friends, I'm not going to go beyond that. If you wanted to divulge more information, you would. If not, then it'll be a conversation piece the next day.

*Cut flashback*

Now, apparently, being controlling = caring. That's right, being controlling means you bloody care. SINCE WHEN???!! I really have no idea.

How did I find this out? Well, that's another story in itself, but it can be summed up as 'boy likes girl, girl likes other guy'. Now, this other guy isn't her boyfriend, but treats her like she is anyway and controls every single aspect of her life. I mean this girl reports every move she makes.

I ask her why, "Because he said so". They both work in the same office btw, which was why I was surprised when they argued over her not IM-ing her that she was leaving the office (I was driving her to college for a party). Best part? She already APOLOGIZED, but the guy wouldn't let go.

And then she can ask me "Why does he care so much?"

Honestly, I really feel like giving up on women, love and the like. So please please, help me understand why women like to complicate matters so much?
