AITA for not feeling up to talking to my partner?
Before I started my relationship with my partner, I had a female friend who invited me to her birthday (10m ago). I brought a gift that I bought from my partner’s business. I went to that birthday because a friend of mine was going, and it was just a calm dinner, everything normal.
Now, 8 months later, we were watching the Mario Galaxy movie while hugging and holding hands. In one scene, Mario said he wanted to make the princess happy, and I told her that I also try to make mine happy, referring to my girlfriend. Right after that, Mario looked for a gift for the princess, and she said, “Like you with your friend.” I didn’t say anything and just felt a bit sad because I didn’t understand the comment, but we kept hugging and holding hands.
The next day, we were talking under the stars, hugging side by side everything very nice and she asked me what I would be doing if I weren’t with her. I told her I’d be trying to win her over, and she said, “Or you’d be giving gifts to your friend.” That made me sad, and I chose to leave.
I don’t understand. Since I’ve been officially with my partner, I stopped talking to all women by my own decision. I don’t follow anyone in any social media, and I’ve told her in the most kind and respectful way that in my world only she exists and she has nothing to worry about. She has her own friends, and I don’t think or say anything about that. She says she was joking, but I don’t understand the joke.
Now that she told me that, I said it was okay and that I understood, but that I didn’t feel up to talking and hoped she would understand. I also told her I’ll always be there for her and that I love her very much I just need some time, but we’ll still talk. Now she’s talking to me more coldly than I could have ever imagined, it is fair? AITA?
(As a disclaimer: By saying I did it on my own (stop talkin with f friends), I mean that she never explicitly asked me to do it, but one day she checked who I was following and she didn’t like that certain friends were there. So, to protect my relationship, I decided to distance myself. Still, that’s not really the point it’s about her recent comments and how i take it)
