the woman i've been dating has gone silent on me after i apologised for some clumsy words i said during an argument. she's really sensitive, which i am glad for, but now i feel like i have to watch every word i say. it's like i'm always walking on eggshells, and it's really taking a toll on my self-esteem.

on the phone on Saturday night, we talked about how i behaved around her friends during a night out. i had a few drinks and made a joke that she didn't like, and she's been really tough on me about it. i made the mistake of saying, "i messed up again, didn't i? i want to die." she hung up on me.

i've been trying to see her since then, but she sent me a message saying that what i said wasn't okay, and now she won't respond to me. how do I show I'm sorry, it was a simple mess up and I don't think it's fair to go silent....

@SullyW
If it wasn't that it would have been the next thing. The relationship was doomed. Whether it's you, her or just the 2 of you together.

@kkloo thank you. she always seemed to compare us to her friends/family who all seemed perfect compared to me. she grew up in a 'perfect' family, i grew up somewhat alone so i couldn't measure up
