I’ve been with my girlfriend for 5 and a half years. Last month my mum passed away being diagnosed with cancer.

It’s obviously been hard for me to deal with as she was the only close family I had so the grief has been hard to deal with. My girlfriend sat me down yesterday and said it’s starting to upset her and get to her seeing me angry and withdrawn.

Just to clarify by angry it’s that I’m angry my mum is dead, I’m not taking my anger out on my gf or anything like that. I asked what she was expecting since my mum has only been dead 3 weeks.

She just said it’s starting to get to her and asked if I’d try to watch how I am being. I asked if she was seriously adoring me to hide my grief and pretend like everything’s fine because she can’t handle seeing me grieving.

She accused me of twisting her words and said she wasn’t asking for anything unreasonable. I told her she should have some empathy and told her to leave now if she wasn’t going to bother being supportive when I need her.

She said I was overreacting and being unfair towards her but I just pointed out she was literally telling me to not grieve when she’s around.

She said again I wasn’t being fair towards her and that she hadn’t done anything wrong.

AITAH for telling her to leave?
