The title basically explains it, yesterday I was ready, everything sorted and was just waiting on her to get ready and come over, she cancels for 0 reason and later on explains she wanted me to fight and beg for her to come over.

Leads to today, I wake up a bit later than she wants (7:15 am ) and i say good morning and I don't get a response for 4 hours and shes mad that i didn't apologise for not being up on time.

I know im in the wrong for not being awake on time but I was perfectly on time yesterday and was excited to see her.

It all sounds very juvenile.

OriginalSkang · 08/11/2026 12:46

How old are you both?

She's very clearly in the wrong, 100%

PurpleLovecats · 08/11/2026 12:46

Sounds like a shit relationship, move on!

Mulledjuice · 08/11/2026 12:46

why did you need to wake up at 7am especially on a Sunday?

HortiGal · 08/11/2026 12:47

In the bin, very controlling and irrational, life is too short.

Quinncc · 08/11/2026 12:47

we are both 17

She likes things specific and being up at 7 is a requirement if she wants to come over

What She's doing is emotional abuse and you shouldn't put up with it

I would be specific and end the relationship TBH

I would be specific and tell her it's over and she shouldn't contact you again.

AlohaRose · 08/11/2026 12:53

You are 17!!! You need to be out with your friends, enjoying life, and hopefully studying at school/college as well. You are way too young to be putting up with this kind of nonsense (not that anyone of any age should have to deal with his level of control!) Please speak to people around you - where are your parents in all this?

Get rid of this girl. You do not have to "fight" for anyone who is playing stupid mind games with you.

LIZS · 08/11/2026 12:55

Spunds very needy, controlling and unhealthy. Find someone who fits your lifestyle better

ArtforEveryone · 08/11/2026 12:56

OP, she sounds completely possessive, controlling and irrational. If you were my 17-year old son or daughter, I would be very keen for this “relationship” to end as soon as possible. It will only get worse and you must know that her behaviour is not normal?

ToadRage · 08/11/2026 12:58

Who gets up at 7.15 am on a Sunday? I never see that time even on a weekday. The whole scenario makes her sound like a dumb teenager or a manipulative bitch, work out which it is and dump her. You do not need this ridiculous, juvenile drama.

user293948849167 · 08/11/2026 13:00

Wake up on time for what?
She sounds unhinged and controlling you need to finish things and move on, do you really want to live your life like this?

Absobeautely · 08/11/2026 13:06

Dump her without a nanosecond of thought. Enjoy life, plan your future.

Schoolchoicesucks · 08/11/2026 13:07

She's 17 so I guess that explains her behaving in such a childish way. But if I was in your shoes and wanted to have a more adult relationship, I'd try to explain to her that you want to be able to be honest with each other and treat each other respectfully.
She is playing games and sulking. And to me that is unattractive. If she wasn't able to meet me on a more grown up level I would end things.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 08/11/2026 13:09

she wanted me to fight and beg for her to come over

Dear God. You're dating an emotional abusive diva channelling her inner Mariah, OP. Get out now.

HikingHippo · 08/11/2026 13:10

There needs to be more education in schools about healthy relationships. This is not one.

OffTheMap · 08/11/2026 13:10

Cancelling to make you beg is manipulative and not healthy behaviour.

OneHazelBird · 08/11/2026 13:14

Relationships are meant to be fun and exciting (especially when you’re so young).

If there is any sort of game playing or controlling behaviour (there is both here), then end it and find someone else.

Just message her that this is too much drama for you and she’s obviously not happy so you don’t want to see her again.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 08/11/2026 13:15

A requirement? just who died and made her ruler of your world? in a few months time she's going to be specific about who you can see and can't see, where you go and don't go and probably making your life a great deal smaller and less
pleasant.

You're 17. Chalk her up as experience and move on.

concernedgrapefruit · 08/11/2026 13:15

In a way it's good that you're getting a glimpse of this toxic behaviour so young, so you can see it for the red flag that it is and avoid such people like the plague in future.

But for now, you're 17 and should be having fun. Don't let anyone make you feel the way she is. Tell her she's being emotionally manipulative, and that that's a deal breaker for you. Get rid of her and enjoy your life.
