When did it go from "significant other" to "psychopath"?

I've been in relationships where everything started nice and happy, and quickly, like a tsunami, things would take a severe turn for the worse. The worst part about it was that I was made to feel horrible about it, because all of it was somehow my fault.
Have you ever had a "bad" relationship? Where or why do you think it went wrong?

if your age is correct by your profile I going to be upfront as to why. A teenage young womans' body grows much faster than their brains. Same for males but girls are experiencing hormones now and are having feelings they themselves never had before. Most teen girls lack confidence and wear their hearts on theirs sleeves. The wrong thing said or done can send them in a dramatic frenzy. Get prepared for as you get older it gets worse. Hormone levels really mess with a womans' sanity. Just do you best to hang in there and wait for the storm to pass.

I understand that physical changes play a major role in that, but on the other hand, I feel that after a number of years, it is their responsibility to start getting a handle on themselves. I have discussed this issue of control with a variety of female friends, but it just seems that after a certain time, either they start being able to control it, or they tend to start abusing the change and asking the general public to conform to their change.
Of course, on the other hand, much of it probably was due to my being possibly too honest. Nobody in a bad mood wants to be reminded of why they're in that mood in the first place.
Thank you very much for the response, and the kind warning.

I'm not saying it will happen all the time at the same time of the month. It deffinately does play a part though. Sometimes they need hormone shots or other help. there are disorders that ocurr more often in women than men. PMDD or Bipolar. It may be you need to get to know someone before dating them. There is no excuse for anyone to fly off the handle at a drop of a hat. I have two sisters' who do and I vow never to to be like them. I can't say that my moods are always perfect though. Diet and exercise play a big factor in anyones' moods as well. it's proven if you eat right and exercise there will be less irritibility. But I don't care what anyone says. I don't know a woman alive who hasn't been affected by emotions. They are lying if the say the never have emotional outbursts. That's all.

I thank you, first of all, very much for answering that in a very civil and polite manner. I understand that it's a bit of an odd subject, and certainly tends to stir up harsh criticisms. So thank you again.
I also agree with you, and I might even go as far as to say that I see a lot of men tend to have times of emotional instability, sometimes even without reasonable cause. I have no idea if you've seen the same, but it really is surprising sometimes. They too "fly off the handle at the drop of a hat." I suppose there's a question that I'll never find an answer to.
