Hi! Soooo I recently decided to get a nose piercing, and before I did, I asked my girlfriend which side of my nose to get it on... And she had a problem deciding which side of my face which stressed her out... so I just decided to give the conversation a rest and ask my friends for advice. I ended up getting the nose piercing and not telling my girlfriend because I figured it would be a fun surprise. It was not a fun surprise... because when she saw it, she said it makes her sad because it just reminds her of how she couldn't choose, and she feels really bad about that. Now, whenever she sees my face, she just gets really sad, and now she can't look at pictures of me with my new piercing.
This really sucks because: I was excited to get this piercing as I got it with my brother for his birthday, I really like it, and now it triggers my girlfriend's ocd.
Because my piercing triggers my girlfriend, she has started avoiding me (she tends to avoid her triggers)
Sooo... now I feel really lost. My girlfriend can't bare to look at me, and now she can't bare to talk to me. It also doesn't help that we go to different colleges so.... I don't get to see as much as I'd like. So yeah this fucking sucks.
I need advice on how to handle this, how my girlfriend can handle this, and what I can do in general.
