Ashraf Saad2 months agoI’ve been dating my girlfriend for about 6 months now, and we’ve had an online relationship, though we’re not in different time zones. The first couple of months were amazing. We’d talk all day, even while I was at work, and we’d stay up late playing games or chatting. We had so many things in common, both in terms of hobbies and even sexually. I genuinely felt happy in the relationship. However, around the 3-month mark, things started to change abruptly. Where we were once really romantic, surprising each other and offering constant support, the relationship has taken a turn. For the past 3 months, it feels like there’s always tension. We fight over trivial things that feel pointless, like whether or not a package should arrive on time if you’ve paid for express shipping. I try not to engage in these arguments, but sometimes I can’t help myself, especially when it feels like she’s just trying to start a fight. Beyond the constant fighting, she’s been distant and doesn’t show much positive emotion towards me anymore. I’ve noticed a significant toll on my mental health because of it. After each argument, she apologizes, cries, and says she’ll try to do better, but nothing really changes. Eventually, I suggested that maybe it would be better for us to just be friends, thinking it might be less damaging for both of us. This angered her deeply. She told me that she couldn’t live without me, and in a moment of desperation, she even suggested self-harm unless I agreed to stay with her. I’m really torn. I don’t know what to do here. How do I move forward?135
