My girlfriend and I are having some issues and I was wondering if anyone could help out. - Help.com

your girlfriend is just feeling hurt and a little abandoned. this issue will probably blow over if you give it some time and apologize for the work with your dad taking longer than expected. even though this was not your fault, you should still apologize. it will make her feel a little better. good luck,

Your girlfriend is acting very immature.

Look, long distance relationships really don’t work. This is one of the reasons why. Basically you guys are pals, not girlfriend/boyfriend, and a pal relationship just doesn’t work in the romantic context.

You need lots of time physically together doing things to develop your relationship skills. Instant messaging and multi-player games don’t cut it.

If you want a girlfriend, you gotta get one in person.

how old are you both?
this doesnt sound like a healthy situation at all.
first of all, shes not really your girlfriend is she. you speak to each other in an online game, and communicate through instant messanger.
for all you know she could turn that off and be an entirely different person. or a man.
She sounds very, very immature and very insecure also. that insecurity isnt going to fix itself, and it always, always comes out in relationships in the form of unnecessary jealousy and unreasonable demands.
she needs to work on her own issues before she even thinks about a relationship, and i think it would be far, far healthier for both of you to just chat online as friends, and get out into the real world and meet real people.
or one of you make the move to be physically with the other, i mean comeon, after 3 years a lot of relationships are looking toward marriage, and you two havent even met.

I’m in an LDR too; we’re at different grad schools. You sound exactly like my boyfriend and I sound exactly like your girlfriend. Take it from me, later on she’ll realize she was being irrational, but she will not apologize. If you’re anything like my boyfriend, as you sound like, you’re always the loving, understanding one in the relationship. You love her too much to fight back. You make everything better for her. She is railing against your long distance situation because it is the one thing you have no control over. This is where her anger is coming from. She just wants you with her, and since she can’t have you, she’s hurting, and she wants to hurt you back. It is very immature; I do it myself. I don’t think there is anything you can do to get her to act differently; just do what you always do: be her support. If your situation is anything like mine, I wouldn’t worry. I may tell my boyfriend I hate him and hang up, but in truth he’s got the upper hand. I’m desperate to be with him.

Women are stupid like that, no offense to other women (being one myself). You just have to explain to her that she shouldn’t get upset about how you weren’t online because you were doing other important things, and that holding a grudge against you for that is pointless. See, us women we think that men think like us, when they don’t at all ;) If it was another girl who did that to her she’d think it was because she was deliberately ignoring her or something. So just keep reminding her that you are sorry you hurt her feelings but there’s no need for her to be upset.
And above all that just give it time. She’ll get over it, it’s not really a big deal at the end of the day.

I think if anything you could have said something to defend her when those people were attacking her on that online game - I think that is the reason why she’s so angry with you. She’s feeling hurt mainly by you breaking your word on the 2 hour part as well as your not standing up for her against other people.
