Alfie Zackerya month agoI (29M) have been dating my girlfriend (25F) for two months, and I’m deeply in love with her. Taking care of her has become very important to me. She’s a loyal and trustworthy person, and I really care about her. However, recently I’ve noticed she’s been irritable and upset most of the time. I tend to be a positive person and try not to burden others with my own daily issues, but she’s the opposite. For example, even a minor headache will make her extremely irritated, and she’ll talk about how sick she feels constantly. I’ve learned to accept this, but now there’s another issue. She often gets mad at me without any clear reason. For instance, if she has a headache, she will be rude to me, even though I haven’t done anything wrong. Just the other day, she was complaining about a toothache. I suggested she get some medicine from the store since I wasn’t close by, but I also tried to comfort her. She snapped at me, saying, “Please don’t say anything, you’re already making me mad. I’m suffering.” That hurt me. There have been other instances like this as well. Another problem is that she gets upset if someone calls me and I can’t talk to them because I’m busy. However, she talks to her friends almost all the time, and when I bring it up, she says I shouldn’t have an issue with it. I know she’s not cheating—she talks to her female friends—but it still feels unfair at times. Recently, my dad was sick, and when I told her I was going to check on him and call her back, she got upset and said that if I disconnect the call, I shouldn’t call her back. I disconnected the call in frustration and didn’t call her back, but she called me to argue about why I disconnected the call in the first place. TL;DR: My girlfriend and I have been together for two months, and I care deeply for her. However, she is often irritable, rude to me without reason, and doesn’t like me talking to my friends on the phone, even though she talks to hers constantly. She’s a good person, but it’s becoming difficult for me to deal with this behavior.140
