意味

An emotionally unstable girlfriend — a partner with mental health issues who exhibits clingy, jealous, or dramatic behavior in the relationship.

Combining メンヘラ (someone with mental health issues, from 'mental health' + er) and 彼女 (girlfriend), this term describes a girlfriend who is excessively clingy, prone to emotional outbursts, jealous, or emotionally manipulative. While the term is widely used, it's controversial because it stigmatizes mental health. It's often used in dating horror stories and relationship advice contexts.
