Hey all. Thanks for checking out my question. Okay, so my girl is VERY sensitive. Yesterday, I called her and everything was okay.

We talked about this and that until the point where her friend called when i was talking to her. Her friend made an intentionally missed call. So, i told my girlfriend a statement that goes with "I don't like that action. They just want us to call them back so they wouldn't pay for the bills" and then my girlfriend was feeling SUPER offended by that.

I tried to convince her that it is not meant for her. Just a general statement but she took it wrongly and feels that she's burning my money.

Please help! I tried to do everything but nothing works. I texted, i even said i'm sorry for that but she keeps feeling offended and she doesn't wanna talk on the phone because of that.

Hey guys. It's me again. Thanks for all the great advises. I'm feeling ALOT better. I really appreciate it guys.

BUT, she's still feeling offended. I was talking to her just now for about 1 hour and then she went like, "okay i'll talk to you later sweetheart". Then I asked her what's wrong and all because she came up with that in all of a sudden. She said she's got this stupid feeling when talking to me on the phone and that's being offended again and clearly she's not over that.

What should i do to clear it once and for all? I'm not tired of comforting her but she's still feeling that way. I don't want this feeling to be stuck to her forever.

I have to be honest, this would really make me think about this relationship. I admit I've stepped in it on three occasions with my girlfriend, but not about something this trivial. If your girlfriend is going to act this way every time you say something, you're going to end up wondering where you stand. Stop apologizing for one thing. If she wants to get funny about something so trivial, then it's he issue, not yours. Let her get over it and just move on. If she can't let it go, then she has issues and you need to run a mile. Of course men and women get offended by their partners. But not over something like this.

Let her off, she's acting like an idiot. I don't care how sensitive she is that's a completely inoccous statement and it's actually true. People leaving missed calls so they don't have to spend money talking to you is an insult, there are times when they are low on credit and it's okay to do it then but all the time is a bit ridiculous.

Especially seeing as most girls spend so much on the phone to their girlfriends, it can only be assumed they don't want to waste their money on you.

If someone wants to talk to me on the phone, then they can pay for that time otherwise what they have to say mustn't be that important. I will gladly ring someone back if they're low on credit but they can send me a text explaining that they are, but they need to talk.

She's being childish, so just let her off stop trying to tell your sorry etc. it's only feeding her idiocy and also makes it look like you were actually in the wrong, when you clearly were not. You told her it wasn't meant at her and you'd spend every dollar you have just to hear her voice but she choses to ignore that and is using it as an excuse to be angry at you. So just let it drop, stick by your statement because it's true and if she wants to play a no talking on the phone game with you then so what? Just let her.

Apologise in a way that you sincerely mean it, and then move on and forget about it. Concentrate on having good times and not getting in to any more issues.

If your girlfriend continues to find it a problem or seems like she can't move on, it is her issue that she needs to deal with. You should be able to tell her this in a mature way so she can adjust her behaviour.

Well you should find out if she had any problems in her life that caused her to be like that or try to have a personal talk to her to see y that affected her
