A night to remember for all the wrrong reasons
Hey there! So my girlfriend has been going through some major family drama lately, and it's kinda put a strain on us. She's been acting different-like she's not the same person. We've had these moments where she's just... mean to me, with insults and everything. Whenever I try to talk about stuff that's bothering me, somehow I always end up apologizing instead of getting anything resolved.
She even called me toxic and narcissistic. But hey, nobody's perfect right? And yeah, I do focus a lot on my own feelings sometimes, but I also genuinely try to understand where she's coming from too.
There are still sweet moments-we had this one night playing Robolx together laughing our heads off-and then suddenly I ask if she can be more affectionate cause I feel distant. She goes ballistic and calls me childish for looking for affection in a kids' game. Then she turns around and criticizes me for following her character, but also says I'm not being a gentleman because I didn't walk behind her.
She accuses me of avoiding tough conversations too, but honestly, I just pause to think about what I want to say first. Later on, she changes her phone wallpaper from us to something else-totally dented my feelings in ways I didn't expct.
I don't know if I'm overreacting or being super sensitive, but I really love this person and I definitely don't want to lose them. But at the same time, it feels like every day is a struggle emotionally.
Right before bed she texted me "Goodnight " adn that made things even more confusing for me. Now I'm sitting here thinking about what to say when I wake up-whether I should keep trying or if maybe this isn't working out as well as it could be.
Would love some thoughts on this, anyone?
