I tried to evaluate whether her issues with me were valid or not and not assume that I'm right "just because" In some cases (like been late) she was just right and I'm happy to have improved my behavior, in other cases I've considered exactly your point of view. I'm really trying to walk on the thin line between stopping to be myself and not making her angry. It's not not easy. | |

If we are talking about thing X and she gets angry I immediately stop discussing X until she acknowledges her behavior and apologizes. Multiple times I've started doing other things and leave the physical place where we were when this started to make it clear that this is not tolerable. I think she understands this pretty well, she is just occasionally unable to control herself. | |

She had a very good childhood, in a upper-middle class family where she was treated like a princess. Her parents are a very strong couple, very close together. They just happened to share a lot of time together (both worked from home) and when some conflict arose they reacted by raising their voices, but AFAIK never insulting each others or worse. Said that, my life together with my girlfriend is definitely drama-free. This behavior stands out exactly because the rest of our time together is very relaxed. | |
