Things have been going really really well between us. We’re buying a house together, talking about long terms plans like marriage, getting a dog and having kids. We’re committed to each other. Then comes the FU…
A few weeks ago we got into an argument over something really small - it’s not even worth recapping. But the argument escalated, we were both shouting at each other, and I said some things I shouldn’t have.
I need to clarify, she is the best thing to ever happen to me. She’s one of the smartest, prettiest, kindest people I’ve ever met. Even if things don’t work out between us, I don’t ever want to lose her from my life. But in the heat of the moment, I said I didn’t know if I wanted to be with her anymore.
She just froze, stood there for a few seconds then left the room and went to bed. Since then she’s barely spoken to me, avoided being in the same room as me most of the time. She’s still made sure there’s food for me for when I finish work, or told me when there wouldn’t be, but she hasn’t been waiting to eat with me like she used to. She hasn’t been hanging out with me, just doing her own thing all the time.
I thought I made it clear I only said it in the heat of the moment and didn’t actually feel that way the next day - I started talking about our plans for the house. She talked about it with me a bit but wasn’t massively into it. I just want her to be how she was before I said that. How can I fix this?
TLDR mid-argument I told my girlfriend I don’t know if I want to be with her anymore. She hasn’t been the same since. How can I fix this?
