If she said you are a disappointment to her, then you should accept that she is telling the truth about how she feels about you.

This does not mean you are a Disappointment to yourself or to anyone else. It is not a global pronouncement about you to everyone else in your life.

Look. If you made an incorrect statement like, "I know you do not like fish," then you made a mistake. It's annoying and arrogant for you to say you know her likes and dislikes when you've never met her in real life and haven't known her for long.

It should not be a big deal if you say you are sorry.

If she keeps dragging it up, over and over, then that's very irritating and unnecessary.

My boyfriend doesn't have social media, he is very introverted and doesn't really know how to use the internet despite being 30. His emoji usage when texting feels a little like my mothers.

If someone seemed up to date on internet culture and was very social but said they didn't have social media they would be more suspicious.

Not having social media isn't a red flag, lying about having social media is definitely a red flag.

Not at all!

We can’t know everything about our partner in the first year, and while we will start to get to know our partners so we’ll over time - we will always have more to learn about each other. You never stop learning about your loved ones.

It’s also human to forget some things.

My friend forgot that her own mother is a Vegetarian and has been for a very very very long time. Her mom laughed about it.

Your girlfriend is being very insecure, and is blaming you for this when it’s something only she has control over and can change.

You sound caring and are doing a great job trying to help her feel special. She is not able to handle a simple mistake and could use some therapy or more experience in relationships.

I’m sorry this has happened. It sounds like she isn’t mature enough yet, and it’s not your fault.
