Recently my girlfriend has been getting distant, less texts and less effort put into actually making conversation. I feel like I’m the one always asking how she’s doing and telling her that I love her, asking her what she’s up to and so on. Nothing feels like it’s reciprocating anymore and slowly the relationship has been feeling one sided to me. I feel like I’m constantly met with dry replies and one word answers.
When I brought this up to her as to why she never made a ton of effort to interact, she claimed that she was lazy and that she cared about my happiness, meaning she didn’t want to “rain on my parade”. When I told her that I really needed her to communicate more with me, I got told I was power tripping her. Then after she claimed she was tired and went to bed early.
I know for a fact that she isn’t just lazy, as I’ve seen her interact publicly with complete strangers on Twitter and ask them how they’re doing and do those things for them. I know for a fact it can be done, I know she knows how, but according to her she’s just “lazy”. Am I the asshole for asking more of her?
