Personally I draw the line when the bad attitude begins to surpass what I would consider acceptable behavior. We all have bad days, snap at people, walk around in a foul mood and that's okay but when that becomes the norm, its unacceptable and I refuse to put up with it. If that means the relationship has hit the end of the line and its time to go our separate ways then so be it, nobody should have to put up with that garbage just to maintain a relationship. You deserve just as much respect as you give her and if she can't reciprocate then there is a big problem...would you let anybody else treat you the way she's treating you right now?

Maybe the problem here is you don't confront her enough? If you just apologize because its too much of a headache to deal with (God, do I know how that feels) you're simply allowing her to continue because there aren't any consequences to her behavior (he'll just deal with it like always). Have it out and see where you stand, either she'll realize her behavior is completely unacceptable and make a real attempt at changing how she treats you or you find out that she can't deal with an assertive boyfriend and hits the bricks...either way it has to be better then what your putting up with now.
