10 months into my LTR with Mandy and the push/pull game is starting to get pervasive, and I am not sure why?

To be straight, there is only one person playing this game - her.

If I had to guess, perhaps my level of comfort is low, however I feel as though I am providing the exact level of comfort I am willing to provide, and no more. I have no intentions of providing "fake" comfort just to shut her up.

The push/pull game goes something like this:

"Blah, blah, blah, you are annoying/"

"Yep, I am. Chat later, have shit to do."

"Wait, what? I was just kidding - come here" as she kisses me, or proceeds to blow up my texts telling me she misses me.

Typically happens on Tues/Wed after we see each other on the weekends. No I do not ghost her during the week. We still chat often/FT and I try to grab her for lunch every other week or so since my schedule is so flexible. I have to eat after-all, might as well have lunch with someone I like.

I get the push/pull dynamic when you are trying to hook up and/or the relationship is fresh. But 10 months in?

I know two modes - on/off - in/out - you get my time/you dont - you get my attention/you dont.

If you annoy me, I dont respond.

Obviously I understand that I am clearly winning this game of push/pull as I do not fall for the bait.

But it is a boring game. And I clearly do not give enough fucks to keep her comfort level high enough for her to not want to play this game.

What is next level game here?

I am apparently obtuse, and need to manufacture some drama perhaps?

This is not a shit post BTW.

Actually - now that I have typed this, and am reading it.....

Maybe I am the one doing push/pull and don't realize it?

Fuck. Someone set me straight....
