Long story short, had her as a plate for a few months while she was in a long distance open relationship (the guy lived thousends of miles away with no foreseeable chance of reuniting so I guess it had to happen sooner or later) and she started dropping signs that she wanted to branchswing.

She seemed like a good girl and I thought about LTRing her so I gave in a little, dangled the carrot a bit closer. One day she dropped a jealousy test: I normally ignore those but I've seen how sometimes being possessive is good as it's seen as 1) you care for her and 2) you got the ability and assertiveness to check her. So I covertly communicated her that she could fuck other guys if she wanted to get back to plate status, but that would remove some of the privileges she had earned, such as being taken out to fun events on ocassion or being included in plans for other than fucking.

Few days later she broke up with the guy and she started throwing shit tests like never before. Really nasty ones too. Snide remarks about how I'm not all that, one jealousy test and the last one was pretending to misunderstand whether I was supposed to go over to hers or she would come over to mines, then playing dumb and not saying sorry for fucking up.

At that point I just called her out on it and told her it seemed to me like she was playing games and make me mad on purpose, but I couldn't put my finger on why. Told her that whatever the reason, these mind games are a turnoff, and that no matter whether she was trying to push me away and keep things casual or get some proof that I cared, there were better ways to say it.

I also have the theories that she's either a) trying to put me down bc she resents me/blames me for her breaking up with her bf and renouncing to what he brought to her life or b) devaluating me bc she feels insecure and the best way for her to have control is having me walking over eggshells. She's always made comments about me being a fuckboy and giving off promiscuous vibes so she might feel insecure about that. Didn't tell her about those other 2 theories tho, bc one thing she refuses to admit is that she broke up with her bf for me. ASD and all that, and that would make her feel like a ruthless branchswinging opportunistic hoe.

After I called her out on it she started acting more sweet and pleasant for the rest of the night and the day after. Of course she denied trying to manipulate me and tried to make me feel bad for accusing her of that kind of thing, but I shut it down.

So what are your takes?
