So I have been with my girlfriend for just under a year now. We go to the same college and are now both at home (10 hours away) for Winter break. We spend a ton of time together when we are at school.
Anyway, when we left for winter break 3 weeks ago we were doing very well. Just before we left, she asked me for a "promise ring." We were excited about the idea and decided to pick one out when we got back to school in the middle of January.
Whenever we are away, we talk on the phone usually in the afternoon for a few minutes and once late at night to say goodnight to eachother.
For the last week she has been very hard to talk to. Our conversations lately have consisted of me asking her questions just to try to keep her on the phone longer than 2 minutes. She seems extremely moody and angry with me lately and very short with her answers, and always trying to get off the phone, like I am annoying her. If I miss something she said and ask her to repeat it, she gets annoyed with me too.
This morning I called her to wish her good luck on an interview she has tonight and she was annoyed that I called her. This kind of thing makes me feel horrible. It shouldn't be this hard to have a decent conversation with my girlfriend, even if it is for only a minute or 2.
She has been like this before when we are apart for a long time (mostly summer time) but never this bad and especially not for a week at a time. I've tried talking to her but she just brushed it off and changed the subject like nothing was wrong. Maybe she needs more space, but I wish she would tell me what was going on, and talking to her about it probably won't help and will probably make things worse.
Any ideas on what is going on or how I can bring this up with her? Ah!
Thanks for your help!
