So, my girlfriend is becoming annoying. While I'm out enjoying myself she always starts bitching about some minor issue and turning a molehill into a mountain. This time it was about me never giving her enough compliments. Sadly she's become increasingly less fun over time and blames it on depression.

The problem is, her dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer quite some time ago, this was before we met. I think this is the cause of her depression. Whenever we try to make plans now she usually cancels because her "dad is sick" but I can't tell if this is true or just a shit test. Her dad never took a liking to me so it's also possible he's doing this on purpose. Whatever the case I feel like she's not giving me as much attention anymore..

Do you think it's worth dropping her to plate status until she lightens up? It's not like I don't have other options atm.
