<human>: Hey Reddit,

I've been in a relationship (~6months) with a really caring and loving girl. However, our emotional states are almost polar opposites and I need advice on how to deal with it.

I'm a pretty laid back guy that tends to be more logical than emotional in my way of dealing with things. Although when I get upset I usually just stay quiet and keep it to myself. 

My girlfriend on the other hand, gets overly emotional and doesn't think logically at all. She basically explodes with emotion and starts shouting, yelling, and only after that does she manage to calm down and listen to reason.

Now I can deal with some emotions but after getting into a few fights over the last 6 months I feel constrained by them. By that I mean if I say something or do something that upsets her. She isn't going to get a little upset, she will literally blow up and then I have to spend 15-20 minutes calming her down and reasoning with her, after which she admits she overreacted. The whole episode leaves me quite traumatised as I've never seen what I can only call a 'volatile emotional reaction' over something fairly insignificant in terms of day to day life.

Having gone through this about 3-4 times now I feel like I'm always living in fear of her exploding again and in the process traumatising me further to the point now where I feel if I step even a little out of line she's going to explode.

Backstory: We had a previous issue where during arguments she would explode a lot worse and threaten to walk out because she didn't want to be in the same place as me. But I told her that was unacceptable and if we loved each other we could deal with it through conversation rather than avoiding it. Which has seemed to work quite well.

I've just spoken to her about it, but need advice on how to continue the conversation. I mentioned this is how I felt, and she said that this is how she is 'an emotional person'. I do really love her and we have a lot of fun together as a pair. Which places me in this dilemma.

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: Emotional girlfriend who explodes over the smallest issues making me feel more and more constrained in the relationship as I feel I can't take a step out of line without facing a massive shit storm.
