Advice on my [26/m] situation with my gf [30/F]? What she said and how she is acting hurts me. Airing out all my woes with her

It's astonishing how accurate I find your assessment to be. I believe you are spot on.

However, sometimes she will need some time away. When someone like her hangs out around someone for too long, they begin to get irritated and upset by little things that person does (sound familiar?) which they normally would not be upset by.

Sounds very familiar.

She's tried to do this in the past (how you mentioned cancelling sleepovers) but I assume you were sad about it so she backed down and let you come over.

Yes, I was fairly upset about it and I could tell this bothered her. She cuddled with me hard and wrapped herself around me tight. When I finally broke silence, she agreed to not break the next night.

I don't think she is mad at you, and while she is acting unappreciative, I very much doubt she actually feels that way.

I doubt it too. She told me I am very kind and good to her. She likes that I am nice and mentioned this is a very important quality for her, as she was tired of dating men that treated her so badly.

When you get out there, I think things will change.

I think so too. Whenever we are together things go really well. I have a lot of anxiety built up because usually I can drive by her house and see her. Now she is gone, really gone. I can't see her and I know things would be better if she were around. I don't think she even recognized she hurt my feelings tonight. I told her to not worry about things and to enjoy herself before we hung up.

If she is anything like me... it probably doesn't have anything to do with you. I'm sure she still loves and cares about you.

I feel like she still does yeah.

Thank you for your comment. What do you recommend I do then? She wanted me to send her the document, but after our conversation tonight I don't want to smother her any more. I figure since the trip is over a month away I can wait until I see her this weekend to send it to her. But in the meantime (before I see her Friday), how should I act? I think I'll keep texting to a minimal the next 2-days.
