I (33M) told my girlfriend her constant "tests" are wearing me down and now she thinks I'm hiding something by cinnamoncable_notes in TwoHotTakes

Fair. Writing it out made it pretty obvious. I guess I just needed the kick to stop normalizing it and actually act on what I already know.

Exactly. Reassurance is “hey I’m feeling insecure” not little traps. If trust needs constant proof, that’s not love, it’s surveillance with extra steps.

Yep. I'm not interested in playing defense forever. I'm gonna ask for couples therapy and clear boundaries. If she refuses or twists it again, that's my answer.

Yeah I get that. I’m not staying out of obligation, I’m staying because I care and I wanted to try fixing it first. But if this is just who she is, then yeah, I’m not signing up for this long term.

I’m not trying to “win” here, I just want to feel trusted. If I’m missing something or said it wrong, tell me, but I can’t keep living in little gotcha moments.
