So my girlfriend and I have been having some issues lately and she stated that she’s scared of me. She’s stated that she’s not afraid of me in a physical way but in an emotional/manipulative way. Before we started dating she didn’t tell me exactly what happened to her in the past but I was able to fill in the blanks and know she’s a victim of sexual assault.(she has told me this) so I’ve made sure consent was given in any situation even when putting my hand on her leg when driving.(hand holding is a trigger for her ptsd) she has recently shut herself down to me because she misread some of my texts and saw them as manipulative when I had no intentions on them sounding like that. We have had conversations about what she needs from me to change and that is stop assuming, don’t bombard her, don’t flip situations to put the focus on me(I’m not intentionally doing this), and give her space/alone time.(she goes into ptsd attacks and this is how she deals with it) we’ve been together for 3 months and I can honestly say this is the only girl that has ever made me smile just by existing. I need advice on how I can make those necessary changes for her so I can show her my words match my actions.
