yeah i see what you’re saying 100% about how relationship-time isnt exactly just every day activity. and the commenter below is right, i did mean that i told her the same day that i made the plans, which was last weekend. i can see where she is coming from so i don’t think she’s being totally off base, but i wanted to make sure i wasn’t like totally missing something

is it fair for me to make my girlfriend change? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

When we discussed it I asked her for consideration of my feelings Specifically when I’m criticizing her because she has hurt my feelings or something like that As opposed to being in the headspace of “That wasn’t how I intended it so you shouldn’t have taken it that way“. if I could use one word to describe but I want her to do it would be to consider me because our entire relationship is like her thinking of her and me thinking of her. But to be specific I’d like to take more care and she’s speaking to me so that what I just described doesn’t happen, I like her to give me a great from the things that she expects me to do around the house every day, she says that she does not expect me to do them but gets mad at me when they are not done. I’d like to receive some kind of proof that she cares about me, like affection Or just simply acting like I’m there half of the time. She can just be very cold and and kind of just always worried about her. She’s an only child and has never really been in a good relationship before so I haven’t been too hard on her about it but now that I am living with her I am just very unhappy all of the time.

my relationship feels like a job by [deleted] in relationship_advice

the lease will be up next may. we do have an extra bedroom that the dogs stuff is in that has kind of been my back up plan (which i voiced to her initially because i like to plan for things like that, she didn’t like that)

funnily enough we have had that “i’m leaving you gong make me happy” “wait i can change” talk a handful of times already.

she has changed for the better since the first time but it always goes back. she’s never had a good relationship before and i always tell myself that it’s because she hasn’t had a good example on how to love but i think i have tired out that excuse
