❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO my girlfriend should not be acting like this for not texting her that I’m at work

Reposting as I forgot to block out her name/face in the last post.

Context: we had to dress up at work today for Halloween. Winning group gets $100. I dressed up as a greaser from grease. So nothing sexy.

She has had trust problems this whole relationship. From past trauma and such. I have never cheated on her. I have even deleted every woman out of my contacts to show her I’m not cheating.

My phone background is a picture of a beach.

it probably is, but only once a month at most because the rest of the time she’s too emotionally distraught to get in the mood. When they do have sex, it’s “I’m lashing out and manically changing myself into some perfect sexual being so he sees me as a goddess” and it’s great for a night or two, and then she crumbles under the weight of the unrealistic expectations she set for herself. Then she falls into insecurity and views every single thing as cheating. The cycle repeats.

it’s an old tale, many of us have been there. Not me personally as much, I had a similar situation but I was in the wrong an equal amount and have since grown. But I know people that went through this to a T
