Rough Patch?

---

So, to start off, I've been with my current girlfriend for 5 months, maybe a little bit more. For the last week or 2, things just haven't felt the same, we haven't had as much to talk about and sometimes it's just a bit awkward. Things started out great. We were really good friends before we started dating, and it carried on when we began seeing each other. We could talk about anything, whether or not it was important, I'm a fairly random person, and I enjoyed that I could be myself in front of her, I didn't have to really control what I say. Things started to get weird at around Easter. She was really upset, and had invited me over for dinner with her family. I got there an hour early, and she ended up basically not talking to me for 4 hours, and then crying on my shoulder for the last half hour I was there. She's really stressed with school, she has some major exams for her more advanced program for the next 3 weeks and she's really stressing out, and sometimes it gets her angry, and talking just isn't really possible at that point because she becomes confrontational. We spent a few hours discussing this after she blew up at me one day, and I thought we had worked things out regarding her taking things out on me. The past week since then has been pretty awkward. When we talk, there are long silences, where neither of us talk. I picked her up from school today and we didn't really talk for the half hour that we were together. I know she is stressed and all, I just didn't think it would be this awkward at times. Could we just be in a rough spot because of exams?

Welp....I know that around exams, I don't talk much, I appreciate my me time, like to goof off on the computer or whatever, and that sounds like a very valid explanation for her behavior.
The Easter thing may just be a combination of (forgive me my ignorance, if you haven't been over at her house that often) stress and worry, with you being aruond her parents, and all, maybe....like SHE'S comfortable with you, but in her native setting, it's just, off, because she's not (completely) used to having you there, you know? Easter is a big thing, even when you don't have your significant other coming over to join for lunch/dinner.

So, my analysis, yes, it's just a rough patch. :smile:

I guess I didn't explain the easter thing well. I'm around her place a decent amount, I talk to her parents a bit, and her brother and I have kind of become friends even. It wasn't about anything awkward with the family, she was just in a bad mood that day. When she is, she can be very stubborn (just like me), and she just didn't want to talk to me at all it seemed, then once she did, she broke down. She said she didn't talk to me basically because she knew that when she did, she was going to just break down and have her cry to let everything out.

she is cheating on you. dump her.

Thanks for that, but no.

i would watch my back buddy. she is clearly cheating on you.

Well, i think she's clearly a unicorn.Maybe there was something going on that day, and she didn't really wanna talk about it with anyone, and it just got to her at the end of the day, and that's why she broke down. Besides, if she just needs a good cry to help her, then that's not a bad thing. I don't know what else to say, bro. I hope things get better.

give her some good bye dick then dump her slut ass.

excuse me but what exactly did she do to make you think that the girlfriend is cheating. Don't tell him to first of all do soemthing drastic that he has said no to. Ande secondly tell someone to act to inhuman as sleeping with someone and then dumping them. That is something which really shouldnt be encouraged on this website. I think she is stress and is just dealing with it difficutly. I hope it gets better for you. Act on what you feel not what people who dont know the whole situation.
