I [22/m] am uncertain of whether or not to continue my 2 year LDR with my SO [24/f]

Thank you so much for your reply.

Im glad you acknowledged the difference between changing as a person and adjusting the way you treat someone. I do feel as if she is immature, which is why I got particularly upset when she called me a child. You do have a point though, I feel like this relationship is breaking down. I admit there have been many situations where I reacted unjustly as well, mostly out of the anxiety I have when she has a complaint for me. It seems like, rarely, when she will request something reasonable in a reasonable way, I will still be upset because I am always expecting her to try and start a problem in the back of my mind. In a sense it feels like I am always on guard to be ready for criticism for things I did months before.

I also wanna note she didnt send the gift back, she actually sold my gifts and got ones she liked with the money. I was kinda alright with that because atleast she is wearing something she likes now. She then started thanking me for the gifts I got her as if I bought her what she bought with the money from selling what I got her. This was probably what escalated the fight the most. I tried not to react, and when she questioned why I didnt say anything about it and found out I wasnt happy she did that, she got furious at me for not telling her earlier that I wasnt happy she was doing that. I still dont understand exactly how she is mad at me for all of this, it feels like she is trying to twist it around to make me feel guilty.

I just wanted to clear up what became of that gift.

Thank you again for your comment, and I appreciate that you think I am a thoughtful boyfriend. You and nearly all my friends agree I should find someone new but I still really have alot of feelings for her. Even if we fight alot, the good times we had were wonderful. I guess I cant keep doing this fueled off of nostalgia though
