[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you paying for her trips to hang out with her boyfriend? That part is mysterious to me. I think I need to know what the sarcastic comment you said to her was. She may be feeling pretty stressed at this point in this semester, and just like when they were toddlers, we parents are always the safe space For venting negative feelings. And the moment I would have said she hurt my feelings, but I appreciated that she was spending this time with me. I would tell her that it means a lot to me, more than she can now unless one day she becomes a parent herself.

She is probably in that stage of a relationship where it’s intolerable to be apart, and if they are having sex, then that’s an added reason why time with her boyfriend is so compelling. I’m sure it’s painful that she is pulling away and making her own life, but this is what we are all supposed to want for our kids, right? It does sound like you spoil her, and I’m not sure I would pay for her flights to other places. Or I would make them presents.[/quote]

We were watching a streaming movie together on two laptops that were synced. But the wi-fi was terrible on the train so my laptop started being like 5 or so seconds ahead, she was irritated and demanded I stop and let the laptops re-sync so we were watching at the exact same time. I thought she was kidding and made a little joke. She was not kidding and that's when she snapped.[/quote]

Apologize and move forward in life. You have to deescalate not escalate if you want to keep a relationship healthy. [/quote]
