Hey guys,

This morning I told my girl to give me a kiss. She replied you’re being a needy bitch. Energy behind the words was shitty - was not playful but rather disrespectful.

I let it slide and did some AA for the rest of the morning. But she has been subtly disrespecting me for the last couple weeks after we had a fight where I made my standards known which she did not like.

I’ve tried going cold on her a couple times which has sent her into a needy panick - blowing up my phone, checkin in every 5 seconds, but hasn’t actually led to her stopping her disrespect.

She called me a little bit ago and figured a more direct approach would be better. I said something like “I don’t like how you called me a needy bitch this morning after I tried to show you affection. It was really disrespectful to me. It encourages me to be less respectful and makes me question our relationship.” She apologized a couple times and said it wasn’t cool. We left it at that.

I did some needy shit a couple weeks ago, failed a big shot test, and now I’ve got this kind of disrespect.

I’m going to walk away if her shorty disrespectful behavior continues. But, I wanted to know if I took the right course of action by calling her out?

As I’ve said, I’ve tried the pull back / ignore / silent treatment type of shit before, and it’s only made her vindictive, highly insecure, and more difficult to deal with. So I’m not sure what’s most effective when dealing with disrespectful behavior I don’t like from my gf.
