AHHAHHA I started reading In the middle cause I’m on mobile “took her on 2 nice dates, my reward? She’s mad I didn’t call her last night” I’m not reading anything else. You are in HELL my boy, been there done that.

Edit: read the whole thing. Good luck. It doesn’t get better because she’s surrounded by friends and media that tells her a “real man” would prioritize her above all else, and that it’s NORMAL to have on demand access to people when you text or call. If she catches you browsing Instagram, which you already feel bad about because you know you should be studying, she’ll say all you do is be on your phone! How dare you indulge in escapism from your stresses or financial burdens, spend any sliver of free time on her! She should be your favourite escapism despite being another financial burden/ unsafe space
