Okay so I swallowed the pill a few months ago and within a few weeks I got my first GF and I thought I passed many of the shit tests thrown my way.

But I doubt I am handling things correctly as she is growing distant.

The situation I'm trying to handle now is that English isn't her native language. And I poke some jokes here and there about her English. The thing is she seems way too insecure about it. So when yesterday she sent a message that I couldn't understand I replied with "This is not even an english sentence". Few moments of analyzing I realized that she was hinting about being depressed. I edited the message but of course she saw it in the notification panel and stopped responding. I did not respond.

Today as we were on the phone she was saying something that I legitly couldn't understand. So I tried to guess and ask her "did you mean x". Her voice drooped and she said "I hate when you talk like that". I asked "like what". She said "okay my english is shitty and yours is perfect".

I laughed cause this was genuinly amusing and said "don't be too sensitive" she asked me to stop laughing. Said bye and hung up.

I know that tomorrow when I meet her in Uni she will be acting bitchy. I know this is a shit test. How do I approach this without losing frame. Do I just act distant? Laugh about her stillness? I have no idea how to approach this.

To be clear I did read everything in the side panel. I admit I did not internalize the concepts yet but I hope to learn by knowing how to approach this and similar situations.
