“(name) I’m not perfect but I also can’t deal with you getting mad at me every hour over something new. I don’t know if you realize it, but it’s always something. It’s like you’re trying to push me away. I’m so emotionally exhausted that sometimes I don’t even want to talk because I’ll inevitably do something that upsets you and then I’ll spend the next few hours feeling like shit about it. You’re getting mad and pissy over things that wouldn’t have bothered you before and I just don’t get it. So I want you to think long and hard tonight about whether you want to be with me or not. Because I don’t know what to think right now. It’s like a fucking roller coaster where one min it’s fine and the next it’s not. Now I’m going to sleep so I hopefully don’t wake up feeling as horrible as I do now. I will talk to you tomorrow.”

I’m a 22 y/o, she’s a 23 y/o HB 8-8.5 or so. How do I respond to this? A little background, I found RP about halfway through our 6 months of dating exclusively. Since then, I’ve been calling her out on the things I used to let her get away with. Usually by withdrawing attention instead of saying “hey you’re doing xyz and I don’t like that.” Recently, she pissed me off by getting drunk and being bitchy both on NYE and at her family’s Christmas party I attended with her. Is this just a shit test? I’m not sure how to proceed. For now, I haven’t answered as she said she’s going to sleep anyway. I’m supposed to leave tomorrow to spend the long weekend (Friday-Tuesday) with her at her house. Furthermore, how should I alter my behavior if at all this weekend? I think my main difficulties with her have been that she feels as though she’s walking on eggshells since I stopped putting up with her bad behavior time to time. She has been less affectionate as a result. I don’t think I’m far off, but I think I need to tweak my approach somehow, just not sure how. Any other questions, let me know.
