I'm trying to figure out why my girlfriend says some of the things she does. I have been accused of being a little hypersensitive in the past, but I see most people being either hurt or at least taken aback by some of the statements she's made. Examples: Told me I need to lose weight, I'm not the biggest she's been with (not solicited), no sympathy when I work late "aww, poor baby", tells friends/family in front of me that I drive a POS, makes jokes about things I just got written up for at work, and last weekend only worried about how it affected her when I canceled dinner to rescue a friend on the side of the road. I understand keeping a sense of humor, and a little ribbing for mistakes, but I generally look to my partner for emotional support and this has been the opposite from my perspective. I've given up discussing work problems with her because she works longer hours and has zero sympathy. How do I handle this? She expects me to keep her feelings in mind when talking btw.
