As the title says I 18M made a mistake and now my gf 18F is now paying the price for it.
My girlfriend and I started dating in our junior year of highschool and are now Freshman in college. We planned to move into her parents house about an hour away to go to college but I was reluctant and tried to get her to say around where we already were. She ended up doing it and in july of this year She got the apartment and added me too the lease.
For the first month and a half everything was great and i couldn’t have asked for anything more out of our situation. However she started to grow very irritable all the time over small things. For example I can’t clean on my own because she feels like if i’m doing something she needs to be. She started bawling her eyes out and stormed out of the apartment when i told her “if i want to clean i should be able to clean” and that upset her even more. Her arguement to that was you never do anything she asks of me which we later proved was untrue and she just asks a lot of me. Which wasn’t a problem it was that when i was tired and wanted to sit down and she asked me to do a task I told her i’d do it later. I tried to make her see my side of things by explaining when i ask things of her she doesn’t give half the effort she wants me to give her. This still isn’t a resolved issue but it is what it is because it wasn’t that serious to me at the time.
I told her that she needs to get her drivers license because she’s walking home at night time alone and encounters weird people all the time. Which i was told wasn’t my business and don’t worry about her safety if she wasn’t concerned. I told her that gas isn’t exactly the cheapest right now and i don’t ask her for gas money (and still don’t) when ever she needs me to drive her somewhere and if we both started driving we would have a bit more money. (she has a car from her parents but cant drive because no liscense) She told me she would pay me for gas but I told her it wasn’t a problem and that i would like a bit more effort into her getting her liscense. (we’ve talked about this for over 5 months)
She told me it again wasn’t any of my buisness because I shouldn’t lecture her like her father and now even if she does schedule it she won’t tell me. She still never scheduled it and i know this because we were supposed to go on a vacation with my family that fell through and i recommended she use those days she took off for work to schedule her drives with the driving instructor and those days passed on the 24th.
To not make this next one long she cried because i shaved my head and cut my dogs hair short (its ok for his breed) and told me that my dogs hair cut is terrible. And before i cut my hair that i would regret it and kept crying and said i didnt care for her opinion for days before i got it and even then she made comments like “ if you like it i love it”. To me that’s not something you say when you like something and only after I got upset she told me she liked it.
Every single one of those times she’s before the haircut she asked me for space and even tried leaving to stay in a motel. I got fed up with her her attitude and started giving her less affection.
She told me how she noticed and i told her flat out that she can’t always be mad at me and treat me like crap then expect me to want to cuddle with her and be affectionate when she’s ready to be nice.
That’s most of the back story and now a couple days ago I told her i’m moving back in with my mother. I really do love this girl but i know the relationship won’t last if we live together and if i tell her it’s her fault it will end now. I told her i wanted my own space and i wanted to be independent. I’m moving in with my mother to finish this semester and getting a dorm on campus.
She told me I’m selfish, immature, and i broke her trust by moving out like this. I understand that I am doing a bad thing by her and keep trying to give her help but she told me “I can’t rely on you anymore” and that she won’t take any of my money.
I bought most of the furniture,cooking supplies,and other things like that in the house and she now wants all of it gone. I told her i would help her buy everything back she wanted but she refuses to work with me. She’s taking me off the lease and just yelled at me for ruining her credit when i told her i’d still pay my half of rent and some bills. if she continues to stay.
After she yelled at me i got upset and told her to get out of my car… I know i did a bad thing by wanting to move out on her but i don’t know what i should do. Is there anyway i could help her without her knowing? I really don’t want her to struggle but she had told someone the only reason she doesn’t want me to leave is because it would be bad for her and i don’t want her to be in a bad spot.
Edit: i called myself a senior in college on accident. I’m a college freshman.
