Ok, my girlfriend is really submissive and never voices her opinion. She always says "I don't care" when I ask her opinion on anything. Because of this, we never have fun together. So how can I make her share her feelings since her dad constantly makes her feel like nothing, therefore, she says nothing.

This is difficult, Kyle__H....I know that type of dad. With all the great guys who would like to be fathers but are not or cannot be, I have to roll my eyes at Archie Bunkers like this. Why? Oh, well, I'm not going there. My only "advice" is to try and get her to make more of the decisions in what you do together, as you have been doing. Try to get her to help pick the movie, the place to eat, hang out, etc. Tell you are "at a loss". That may not be true, but play it anyway. Start punctuating sentences (not all of them) with "what do you think?" None of this may work, but what have you got to lose? If you really care for her, you will continue to make the effort. I know, it can be frustrating. Best wishes. Tom
