Last weekend,I told my gf I had plans to watch football since it's football weekend. However I didn't tell her exactly when I was going away. I went offline for 7 hours roughly. I came back and I replied to her texts. She was goofy about the replies like she usually is. I realized half way through texting I had been away for 7 hours and I felt remorseful about that so I apologized saying I was watching football and I'm sorry about not being around. Right after this she switched up and went cold. She went more than 24 hours without texting me and was constantly reposting things she knows hurts me like cheating content and I hate my bf posts. She was also reposting things that suggest I don't care about her so she's finally found herself again and she's going to make me pay. Now she didn't send them to me , I had to stalk her account to see that. I only did that because she wasn't talking and I was overthinking. I kept on texting and asking . I apologized again when I realized it was actually a big deal for her and encouraged her to communicate. She reposted when your insecure bf ruins your day right after seeing it. Now I've known her for 7years We were bestfriends and I absolutely love her. She knows I have abandonment issues. She even has a rule that after 24 hours without texting she will leave the relationship but she's doing it to me. I couldn't take it anymore and asked her if she wants to end the relationship she should please let me know I can't continue living like this. I called her out on the reposts and She said I told her about fighting for this why am I not sticking to my words. She's an avoidant and she deals with her emotions in an unconventional way. She also said I wronged her and she feels nothing and has nothing say to me. So I don't deserve the reassurance I'm searching for. She then said she'll communicate when she wants to and I should stop poking her. It had been 2 days since the incident and that was the first conversations we had . We settled into this causal texting where I tell her about my day and she she ignores or responds. Finally I wanted to be understood and I wanted her to know what I was going through. It is killing me being treated like this. She was the sweetest person the day before the incident . I told her my version of everything she asked what I expected typing 19 paragraphs was going to do. I said I wanted to be heard and understood she said well I don't listen and I'm not giving her space. She keeps reposting things she knows hurts me and says it's her account she does what she wants and she's not in the right head space. She claims this is an issue of principle not a matter of how small the issue was. Am I the asshole for leaving her to go watch football or is she emotionally abusing me and knows I'll stay due to my low self esteem issues?
