Girlfriend Silent

[uglytruth80]

After wks of friendly, daily communication my girlfriend seems incommunicative this morning. Last night we said our 'good night.' I told her it sounded like she had a hard day yesterday and that i hoped 'everything was ok.' This morning I guess i was just expecting some kind of greeting from her. Maybe telling me that she was actually stressed with work, has a migraine, etc. Whether she needs 'space' or not, should i break the ice or just let her be until this evening? I don't want to seem too pushy by asking her multiple times if everything is ok. I've gotten myself into trouble before speaking up to soon, so i just want a second opinion. Thanks in advance.

It doesn't sound like you initiated any contact this morning. Who usually initiates contact? If you feel that she has had a rough previous day and a bit concerned, why don't you contact her and ask how she's doing? Or, if you don't want the appearance that you are making too much out of this, simply just tell her hi, how are you?

No need to ask a question.

 

Why not just a nice message. Like:

 

'Thinking how much I love you'

If you think it sounds like she wants to be left alone, then leave her alone.

 

You don't need to coddle her consistently. If you did your part last night and wished her well, then that's all. Don't need to push it. She may just need some space and deal with whatever is bothering her by herself.

 

Don't put yourself in a situation where you are beneath her.

Thx much for all the good commentary. So you're all right on. No one of us does the typical greeting - we both are regular in that regard. I certainly should not doubt myself / overthink and actually take inititative. I can tell she appreciates that - sometimes she doesn't even know what day it is.

 

So I broke the ice and everything was fine. It was all in my head. I will try not to overthink in the future. Otherwise can make the situation and my actions more awkward
