My girlfriend wants me to take a lie detector.. should I do it?

We’ve been together almost 2 years, but it’s been on and off lately. She’s always had trust issues that aren’t really about me, but after our last breakup she asked if I’d been speaking to anyone else. I told her honestly that I’d signed up to a dating site for a few days and chatted to some people, nothing more. She ended things, said it was over for good.
A few weeks later, she got back in touch. Now her anxiety is through the roof, she’s constantly looking for reassurance, and she says the only way to “move forward” is if I take a lie detector to prove I told the truth. I’ve told her I think it’s unhealthy and I don’t want to do it, but she keeps pushing.
I do care about her, but this is stressing me out and I’m starting to wonder if this relationship is even worth it. Should I take the test just to shut her up, or is this a big red flag?

Absolutely not! This will only get worse. I feel sorry for her but she will make your life a misery run for the hills!

And what happens if you go to a work social event and talk to female colleagues, does she make you feel shit about that too?
