I used to do this with every girl I was involved with. Things would go great, then there would be some incident and I would lose my shit and insult them. I've since learned that's a bad idea.

I think this goes hand in hand with what we were talking about in that other thread about being too much of an asshole. When you start to tone down your "asshole game" then you stop acting like an actual asshole in situations that don't warrant it.
